I spent the majority of my working career in the print industry in a family owned printing company called  Wolk Press. The company was acquired by a large corporation and after a lifetime commitment, I was handed my pink slip in 2008 with no severance package. I did not know it at the time but I had already started my new career in photography, fulfilling studio work for some businesses and smaller companies. My particular field in printing was in prepress. I was instrumental in bringing my previous employer up to speed in Photoshop and color management, but even with my high levels of skills, I could not find employment. I decided to follow my passions and moved from printing to photography as my new profession. I spent five years below the poverty line, barely holding on to my house before I started making a living wage. In 2013 things changed, I had been perfecting my niche in real estate and architectural photography and was getting noticed. My background in lighting and studio photography allowed me the opportunity to produce images of magazine quality for my clients, and by 2014 I was actually making more money with my photography than I could have ever made in printing. I would like to sincerely thank those who have supported me and allowed me the opportunity to earn their business.

I look at my customers as partners rather than clients, I help them look more professional, and get their properties noticed online, but it’s most important that we both succeed and move our business forward.
