What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition? I love being able to catch the innocence of a child's smile, the dynamic energy of a family, or the pride in a high school senior's accomplishments. A professional, updated headshot is a must for anyone in business these days, and it projects confidence in one's self.

What was the inspiration to start or run this business? I have been a fine art photographer for about eight years and have been represented by The Albuquerque Photographers' Gallery in Old Town, Albuquerque NM for about 5 years. I discovered my love of portraits when my granddaughter was born two years ago.

What do you love most about your job? Seeing how happy people are when they view their images, and being able to document a moment in time that will last for generations. It makes my work very rewarding.
