Hi and Welcome,
I hope you'll be as touched by my imagery as I am when I create. All that I love is here; which amounts to people, places, and things!
In a darkroom class with my dad, at 13--I fell in love; Watching the Magic of images Come to Life. The smell of chemicals, that to this day I can still conjure up brings so many memories. And ever since I've been shooting professionally 30+ years. Commissioned for portraits, corporate, and wedding, I'm also concentrate on my FINE ART Photography Collection. Keeping my style, HEARTFELT, INTIMATE. BOLD and VIVIDLY COLORFUL.
I have 'shot' more people then I can count. Showing your essence & giving such an accurate account of your life you'll be filled with joy. I cause emotions to stir inside you and start conversations. Though much of my art is intensely colorful, I can alter the vibe to fit any mood & all decor.
From toddlers to corporate executives, glamor to the elderly; weddings & elaborate birthday events—and continue shooting my travels, my family, and anywhere the light is good, a camera always dangling from my shoulder--- capturing all that I see (whether on professional 'black cameras' or my iPhone), then with my vision and my heart, create magic in my ‘digital darkroom.’
What you see here just wets your appetite, and I most likely have images you desire in my archives.
Thank you for pausing here, to enjoy my colorful world. Looking forward to connecting & collaborating.
All my best,
Patti
