I come from a long line of photographers. Both my mother and father are professional photographers. As a kid I never saw much use for photography. In fact, the only use I had for it was pretending that a tripod was a gun. That was my fascination then. Over the years I have been very fortunate to travel outside the U.S. My first trip was to Jerusalem, Israel where I lived and worked for nearly six months. It was there that I developed a passion for photography. But the joy I felt while taking photographs in Israel wasn't enough; I wanted to feel that way more often, not just when I traveled. This desire led me to weddings, bridal shoots, parties, business meetings and couples photography. Today I am happy to report that I have found joy, and I continue to find it every time I pick up a camera.
