I prefer shooting with all natural light whenever possible, when it's possible, because it preserves the natural dimensions and subtlety in an image. It also flatters the subject by keeping the skin soft and eliminating shine.

One technical guideline I prefer to follow is that I shoot with wide-open apertures for a shallow depth of field; which means that my subject will be in focus, and the background is de-emphasized, drawing the viewer's attention to the emotion and expressions of the subject.

I make myself aware of my backgrounds; I am constantly moving around to make sure that whatever is in the the backgrounds always compliments my subjects. I constantly look for angles that include people in the background who are watching the subject. For example, while shooting the bride and groom cutting their wedding cake, I'll try to capture the couple's guests in the background looking on with excitement and amusement, which will increase the emotional value and depth of the image.

My ultimate goal is to capture the feelings and emotions of  my clients, telling the story and leaving it as a visual reminder to them for the rest of their lives. I hope to strive and reveal with them, every detail of their photo shot in crisp, vibrant images.
