Sometimes life surprises you with the directions it can take. I was a comedy writer and performer living in NYC for twenty years which I loved and after my son was born I found myself looking for a new creative outlet. It was then that I realized that I have had a camera in my hand since I was very young.<\/p>

Having my son Jaxon as my muse, I decided to explore photography and everything took off from there. Now my work as a comedian and actor influences what I do behind the camera. Whether it\u2019s singing, making jokes, being silly, having fun brings out the best in people and the best portraits come from being relaxed and themselves.<\/p>

I honed my craft in daycares where I was to connecting with 50 plus little ones a day ranging from 3 months to 5 years and that was my bootcamp. It led me to discover what was missing, not only in school portraits but other sessions as well- connection and authenticity.<\/p>

I love when parents are blown away with the photos they receive of their children- the constant feedback I receive is \u201c you captured my child perfectly- all their nuances and quirks- you make magic\u201d I believe that is what a photograph should be. Not a posed- cheesy faced moment, but a moment in time that represents who the child is a person. I then branched out into other types of sessions bringing a more artistic approach focusing on the beauty, joy and love of my clients.<\/p>

I want everyone I photograph to feel comfortable, seen and truly special because that is what they are. Photos are magical- they freeze time and give that time back to you as a gift that only becomes more precious as the years go on. It is humbling to create art that defines moments in time that are meant to be revisited, shared and always surrounded by love.<\/p>\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Being a professional photographer gives me the opportunity to connect with people and capture their stories. \u00a0Whether I spend an hour or a day,\u00a0my intention is to take in every dynamic that makes you special and your relationships unique.\u00a0\u00a0These memories are ones that will be shared, talked about, and used as references for moments that generations will see. At JoopaShoots, my goal is for these generations to see the love and connection that they come from. The roots that gave them wings.<\/p>

I capture silly, real and beautiful moments that organically happen while you and your family are relaxed and having fun.\u00a0 My favorite children\u2019s photos are the ones with candid shots. You can tell so much from the personalities of people when they are being themselves. I want to encapsulate that moment when life is happening, not when you are posing and aware of the camera.<\/p>

For me, it’s all about having fun.\u00a0I like the term photo shoot but I prefer “photo adventure.”\u00a0 A day of play where we happen to take pictures.\u00a0I have been performing comedy and improv for the last two decades giving me tools to adapt to any situation and find anyone’s smile. Having a childlike spirit has benefited me very well in both comedy and photography which is what makes our experience so unique.<\/p>

I’d love to hear more about how I can provide you with an amazing photo adventure!<\/p>\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
