I have always enjoyed photography since I was very young. I sold papers and saved to buy my first camera and by the time I was in jr. high I was already on the yearbook and newspaper staff. Maybe it was the smell of the chemicals in the darkroom or the cheerleaders who wanted to pose for the camera but, I was hooked for life.
In high school I wrote a report on my favorite photographer, Robert Doisneau. He later had an older photo of his become the most famous kissing photograph ever. Years later I had done a series of kissing photographs for a calendar line and some of the photos became posters. My Parisian Kiss poster was being displayed and sold next to Robert's. At that moment I felt as if I had confirmed myself as a photographer. Of course others were more impressed when Oprah put it on her show, now that is success in America!
Threw the years I have remained a photographer shooting everything and everyone. Most photographers specialize but being in a smaller market like New Orleans it has been fun to shoot just about everything as long as it can talk, cry or bark. My photos have appeared in many magazines and publications, calendars and as posters. My shoots have been showcased on Entertainment Tonight and Wild On E! Last week I went from shooting a baby to the cover of International Musician. On this site you will have seen photos from Greek Vogue to a puppy calendar.
Be Good!
