Who is behind the camera?

I have been doing photography for over ten years. I am a graduate of the New York Institute of Photography. I am also a member of the PPA (the Professional Photographers of America). Not to brag, but I love having a full service photography studio located in Woodinville, WA. It's about 20 miles outside of Seattle. I am all about helping you capture and design fine art portraits for your home. Insured and 100% into making family portraits beautiful, fun and guaranteed. I want you to LOVE your images or I will re-shoot, refund or replace them no questions asked. If you’re a dreamer like me and would love to have your family memories turned into beautiful art. Then I’d be more than happy to decorate your home.
