Welcome to Short Street Photographers,
Family stories are amazing, and children change so quickly. No matter what stage they are at, from those "terrible twos" to "terrific teens" and all the missing teeth in between, I love the challenge of figuring them out. Capturing their expression and personality—the fingerprint of who they are at this particular time—is my goal. This is what we all want to remember about our children as they grow and mature over the years.
When I take a moment away from the busy pace of life, I realize how fortunate I am to be able to do what I do. People will ask me if I love my job, and I must admit that I do. It is such an honor to capture moments in people's lives that are so special and to preserve those memories for them.
Short Street Photographers has been trusted by thousands for decades. We continue to stay current and use the gift of seeing light and composition to create wonderful portraits. Also, the philosophy to treat people as we would want to be treated and maintain the utmost ethics, is paramount. This is why many people come back to us and refer their friends and family to us.
Some of you are new to the studio, and for some, I have been photographing your children and watching them grow for the past dozen years or so. I cherish the special relationship we enjoy and look forward to many more years of sharing experiences and watching each other's children grow up.
To my valued customers and friends, thank you for giving me this wonderful opportunity to use my talents in such a rewarding way.
