I would like to welcome you to my world of photography. My love for photography is only exceeded by the love I have for my wife Barbara, my son Jason and his wife Brandy, my Grandson Benjamin and my daughter Debbie and son-in-law Kerry.
I enjoy all types of photography as you'll see here on my Blog, but photographing people is my favorite. I truly enjoy Weddings/Engagements, Bar/Bas Mitzvahs, Quinceanera, Families, Models and just people in general. Photographing the children from the Camarillo Academy Performing Arts (CAPA) and Sophie Dance brings joy to my heart watching these talented youngsters perform. Quite often I want to put the camera down and just watch them.
There is no greater joy than photographing my Grandson Benjamin.
Please enjoy my images, drop me a comment as often as you like.

Ilysse is studying psychology at Northeastern University in Boston. She says she loves the field because it is intellectually stimulating and infinitely applicable to all aspects of life. lysse is an activist for children born into poverty, environmentalism, and equal rights. She wants to give back and make positive changes in this world. Similarly, she wants to have a positive and inspiring effect on everyone that she meet. Ilysse enjoys writing, painting, hiking, and dance. Modeling has recently come to the top of the list.
She looks to modeling as a form of self-expression. She believes being in front of the camera enables her to channel her energy, emotions, and personality into something tangible as she gets to play around with different ideas, concepts, characters, and looks. She simply loves the process, which is always fun and exciting. She feels modeling is a great medium for her to inspire and be inspired and gets that in varying degrees from every shoot by being able to connect with others on a creative level and collaborate on a variety of different projects. She enjoys and takes pride in all the work that she do.
