I am dedicated to the medium of photography and visual storytelling.
If you are looking for someone with a unique point of view
who can photograph experiences
with a sense of spontaneity and authenticity, I'm your girl.

"The velvet hand...the hawk's eye."
- Henri Cartier-Bresson
Fiercely carefree, curious and interested in everything and everyone.
I shoot digital with various cameras - (mostly) little and (sometimes) big guns.

I prefer to shoot early morning or late afternoon when sun is lower.
I love to shoot outdoors or in a room filled with natural light.

One of my missions is to increase awareness about 'The Photographer as an Artist'. Like all other Artists, a Photographer has a gift to see things others may not. To have a point of view and a talent for capturing life's moments. The Photographer will unveil the story and give the viewer a narrative. The size of a Photographer's camera or the amount of money they have spent (loans - credit - cash) on their equipment, accessories and toolbox does not always equal magnificent work. What counts is the art; the eye.
I have stood beside wedding guests who are taking pictures with $10,000 cameras while I create with a $250 compact pro camera or pro mobile phone. I have never been disappointed (nor have my Clients) by the outcome of the images.
As a natural-light, candid, cinematic/documentary style image maker, I promise you my best talent.
If you long to be a Photographer but are lacking confidence or are embarrassed by your toolbox, I urge you to get going. Don't wait. Get busy shooting. Photography is a verb. (and an art)
Thank You
Patti
