If you are going to be working with me, you may want to know a little more about me. I live and have my home studio in Columbia, Maryland. I am known for my patience, especially with children and pets, my artistry, my trustworthiness, my calmness, and my friendliness. I am an energetic lover of nature in all its forms, especially our pets. I talk with my hands, I walk fast, I stay up too late at night, I love my family extravagantly, and I am crazy about my dogs. My smile is crooked (I got that from my dad) and my nails are never painted because I use my hands too much. I laugh loud, I forgive easily, and I try to make people happy. According to personality profiles, I am an introvert and a defender of anyone or anything that is hurting.

I am also an entrepreneur. I have a certificate in photography at the college level, I run a legal business, and I am fully insured. I am a member of the Professional Photographers of America and the Maryland Professional Photographers Association.I have a Master of Photography degree and I have been published in a number of magazines and journals and have won several awards, including winning for portrait, illustration, and artist categories in Maryland Professional Photographer Association competitions and Maryland Photography Artist of the year for 2021 and 2022 (awarded this year). Additionally, my images have been noted as being merit worthy by the International Photography Competition where I have received gold, silver and bronze medals as well as three Imaging Excellence awards. I have also won bronze medals with distinction from Portrait Masters. I am always learning and always working to be the best I can be. Curious about the International Photography Awards?
