More about Kevin I....

What do you love about your job?

What I love about my job is that I meet lots of people. And being a part of their story inspires me to continue doing so. I'll give you an example, I've documented a wedding and took a photo of the bride's "father-daughter dance". As time goes by, with all due respect, the bride's father passed away and she changed her Facebook profile picture and it was the photo I took during her wedding. Afterwards, I sent my condolences and deepest sympathy Then, she replied this, "Thank you for capturing our dance, this is my most favorite photograph ever with my father". From there, I knew my purpose. It may be the saddest time for them, but the smiles will always be reminded by a single photograph.

What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?

I've taken a wide genre of shoots from before such as weddings, portraits, concerts, food, & product photography. I made sure that the clients' needed shots are to be met plus adding my artistic touch.
