The schools are very small, they would put 20-30 kids in a class that we would say is too small for 10.    On this one particular day, I was walking by and saw this little girl.   I crouched down and just as I was ready to take the photo she looked at me.   I got 3 frames and this one was my favorite.     After showing the photo to another team member on the back of my camera, my team mate commented on how all she saw was despair in her eyes.   Since that time, I have named this photo “Despair”.
Right now, it is a 24×36 inch print being displayed in my living room.

I recently traveled to Sudbury to create some awesome images of an absolutely beautiful lady!

But when Renelle and I talked about doing a Bruins theme photo shoot, I just had to say GO Bruins!

Renelle is a very talented Hair dresser and professional makeup artist at Be Fierce, a new Hair salon in town and she was such a pleasure to work with!

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

In today’s multimedia world, your image will convey a first impression before you even meet your prospective clients. 

A quality portrait conveys professionalism, trust and friendliness.

In the end, a professional business portrait will pay for itself many times over!
