Year Round Shorts

Hi there…

Simple things have always made me happy: casual living, food, and especially clothes. Friends, and those familiar with me, know that I wear shorts year round, so the website name seemed a natural fit. It is this relaxed approach that I enjoy in my life and bring to my work.

As a Photo Stylist, I want to convey a story by bringing elements together to create beautiful images. Spending years as a performer, I learned the art and importance of telling a story and bringing it to life. Now I get to do that visually by working in a creative environment with talented people. I believe that if you work hard and from your heart, fabulous things take place.
