Many years ago I started my career with portraits and family photos. This quickly led to doing corporate photography for wonderful companies, like Commor , Cactus Club cafe, Carter GM, Pharmasave, Neptune Terminals and much more . For years I have created on brand images that made an impact and helped my clients succeed.

  • Managed multiple projects simultaneously by prioritizing deadlines and maintaining excellent organization.
  • Conducted pre-shoot consultations to discuss clients' needs and preferences for optimal results.

Communication is key to create images that impact, and are purposeful. It really is not quantity its quality , if you intent to meet your target client.

From creating the right plan, to creatively executing the imaging and delivering on time on brand images to happy clients has been my goal for every client. I took on leadership roles in a business group to grow my network. It was great to inspire others to grow and develop in a positive way . I so enjoyed doing the presentations and meeting new people.
