Our corporation was formed in 1994 when Sharon and I had so many, "word of mouth" referrals from extremely happy brides, that we decided to get very serious. We purchased the top of the line photographic equipment and spent many hours in training and seminars and made an objective to produce a high quality product using top of the line equipment and products. Back then we were big into weddings. We now concentrate on fine portraiture in the studio or on location at the park or beach. Our portraiture work exemplifies beautiful three dimensional lighting and exquisite retouching presented finished by professional labs on high quality paper and canvas.

I graduated from the Antonelli School of Photography in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. There I attended two years of training where we covered basic photography through portrait and glamour including black and white as well as color. This also included intense training on proper lighting. We concentrated on making people look great. After our corporation was formed, I attended the Wenona School of Professional Photography in Atlanta, Georgia. There I trained with the best that the Professional Photographers of America have to offer. The classes included Portrait I and Portrait II. It was not until I attended a small class with a Master Photographer that I really understood how to hit the mark on lighting every time. It is absolutely amazing how great a fine portrait can look when it has received proper lighting! Since then I have entered several portraits in professional competition and have received numerous accolades, regarding my lighting and beautiful
retouching.

I belong to The Florida Professional Photographers and The Suncoast Professional Photographers were I served as President for 2002. My hobbies include photography, physical fitness, amateur radio and gardening.

I look forward to the thrill of producing beautiful portraits!

Sharon in Glacier National Park

I graduated from Auburn University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Education. I have always had a deep love for photography. With time and money, I attended training and acquired equipment that helped me with my skills. SPC, formerly SPJC, offered photography and I took two of those courses. Through Professional Photographers of America, I have taken many workshops to improve my photography. I have entered photographic competition and have merited.

I currently teach high school in Pinellas County. I teach Web Design 1 and 2. It is fascinating that Business and Art have merged together which seems to be a perfect fit for me. Basically I am an outdoor person. My favorite parts of photography are architecture and landscapes.
