Your Bio

Welcome to Cha Pics photography!!

My passion for photography started at a young age. I earned an Associates Degree in Photography in 1987 from Villa Maria College in Buffalo, NY. For 6 years after college I worked at a professional photo printing lab, Campos Photography Center now known as The Campos Group. In time I became one of the labs top professional custom photo printers.
Printing was enjoyable to me.
Viewing other artist's work and actually printing their work gave me great insight to better myself as a photographer.
Composition and capturing only what you want to see in your frame is key to a great photogaph and vital to the final stage of photography, which is the actual printing of your image.

After taking many years off to raise my family, I have re-entered the world of photography.
Life is filled with so much beauty that it is hard for me to limit myself to just one avenue when I'm shooting. I love to capture what is in front of me at the moment, and I continue shooting all of life's wonders and beauties.



"SEND A MESSAGE FRAME IT FOR A LIFETIME"

Seperate from selling my images here on my website through smugmug I personally make custom made photographic note cards that have been a favorite to many at local art shows.
The cards are designed to look like they are matted, similar to a larger format photograph that is double matted and made into a breath taking piece of artwork.
These cards can be easily put into a photo frame and adored for a lifetime.
At the moment you can see the majority of images are of hockey action shots (which make awesome cards) more galleries of many different images and art work will be added soon.
