Believe it or not, I’ve been shooting photos (camera in hand) since 1998 …
…Yep, with an old Canon Rebel EOS film camera – that is until I was able to save up and invest in my very first Nikon D300 Digital DSLR Camera. That year I completed 52, (READ: FIFTY-TWO) photoshoots in my first year. No website. No online ads. No Facebook business page – and without handing out a single business card – just creative marketing actions and images posted on my personal Facebook page. I believe in hard work, exceptional customer service and providing my corporate and personal clients with a superior experience.
For me, being a photographer is a gift where I can create and capture beautiful moments and show the world how I see things, creatively and from my point of view. I have a creative eye, much different than most of the standard, “cut-and-paste” photographers that have flooded the market. Not only do I have technical skill and years of experience but I’ve also worked alongside and mentored powerhouses of this generation.
Along with my photography base and knowledge, I have been a creative content, brand, and social media manager for nearly 10 years! Yep, check out my social proof:
- I started with a Non-profit organization and ran their online presence, imagery and engagements for 5 years,
- I’ve worked with and managed over 9 brands thereafter.
- I completed a Brand Management role for a public figure and life coach with measurable growth, engagements and increased reach in her targeted audience across multiple SOCIAL MEDIA platforms.
- And, I had an amazing wonderful opportunity to work alongside a full-service media agency that developed marketing plans, education and business services for sports medicine professionals, medical device companies, and international (Olympic Sports) clientele.
