I loved getting to visit this Wonder of the World (awarded in 2007). It was so surreal after seeing it for years in books and magazines. Since I found the entire trip extremely interseting I thought I would share a few fun facts I learned after my visit. 1. At night it is lit up by flood lights to make the statue look like it is levitating. 2. Funds for the statue were raised by churches throughout Brazil. 3. On inauguration day Guglielmo Marconi flipped the switch to light up the floodlights. He was on his yacht in Genoa, Italy. 4. The building of Christ the Redeemer cost $250,000 dollars.

I have always been fascinated by photography. I have spent countless hours studying photographs of people, while considering the angles, the lighting, and the editing the photographer used. I love the fact that photography has the amazing ability to transport us to a different time, or place with one single shot.
It was not until I started blogging that I decided to take photography more seriously. With camera in hand, I started experimenting with photographs of my apartment, of friends, and family. It was after experimenting in this way that I realized my passion for photography. I have no formal training or background in this field, but I realize that passion can open your eyes to the impossible, so not only did I invest in the proper equipment I also spent the necessary time to learn everything I could to enhance the skill it takes to be proficient with this passion.
I enjoy, and appreciate the opportunity to photograph bloggers, couples, influencers who make an impact in their profession, families, and also lifestyle type setting. I take an individual approach to each person I photograph. I make every effort to embrace and highlight the focus of what they are trying to convey to their audience with each session.
I look forward to working together and capturing the potential magnificence of your moments through my eyes and the lens of my camera.
