How do you continue to challenge yourself in this industry?
I am a magazine addict. I buy at least two or three magazines a week (plus I have subscriptions to about five others) because I love looking at the different photographic styles and ad designs within to stay fresh and original. I like to organize get-togethers with other photographers to share knowledge and techniques. I also attend seminars of all sorts; photographic, business, artistic, you name it. I believe you must master your craft!

What do you think is the most important thing each couple that works with you needs to know?
That I am a perfectionist and I am very hard on myself to get incredible results for all of my couples. My goal is to make the couple cry when they see my work. I love when a client doesn't even need to meet me... they see the work and know that they MUST have me photograph their wedding too.
