My very first blog post!!!

I wish I can say that I was born to be a photographer, that I’ve been taking photos since the tender age of 10... but it took me a while longer to become hooked on “shooting” people. I’m a Saggitarius and true to my star sign, I start all my new projects and endevours with GREAT vigor and dedication, just to lose interest once I’ve figured out the working and “how to” of a new skill or task... and then I move on to the next one. But I’m happy to say that, since shooting my first wedding 5 years ago, I’ve found my calling, my reason to wake up every morning and the part of me I’ve been searching for in all those previous projects. I think the fact that photography isn’t static, that it evolves daily, technologies are updated at the speed of light and the fact that you’ll NEVER know everything about photography is what’s keeping me interested.

How can I become bored with something that’s always one step ahead of me? I use every wedding or shoot I do to become a better photographer, always trying new effects and angles... photography keeps me on my toes, because you can’t sit back and rest on your laurels...

I do all kinds of photography, but I absolutely adore taking wedding photos... The unstaged emotions, facial expressions and special moments, make it so appealing. I love being part of a couple's happiest day, being part of the inner circle and being able to create memories that will last beyond the frosting on the cake and the bubbles in the champagne...
