Photographer services is an additional option to consider if you want to forever capture you memories. Available for professionals or individuals alike.

About Me:

I'm taking all the experience I've attained over the years to provide busy clients with specialty services on a need-to-basis. This is a cost effective way to get some help when it's needed VS hiring a full time employee or relying on the high cost of CPA firms.

My office work is completely confidential, I have a spotless driving record, a clean criminal record, and a high credit score. I am a highly organized and efficient individual that is not afraid to tackle new things or solve any problems that may arise. It's reliable services you can depend on. From viewing my resume, you can see this is all proved by my work history.

I am a clean, confident person who meets the goals required in any situation. My artistic side gives even more flexibility to what my services can offer you as a client. The fact that I am a fast learner and can figure things out on my own, is also an asset. I am a U.S. citizen and have been a life long resident in the Ozark Mountain Region.
On a personal note, I spend most of my other free time outdoors: bicycling, kayaking, hiking, camping, ATV trail rides, 4x4 off-roading and some casual sports with the family like basketball, tennis and other gaming activities. I enjoy hosting dinner parties, wine tasting, writing novels, art projects and going to the fitness gym. Making designer cakes is a favorite creative outlet, photography is my passion, and my life ultimately revolves around my son, thus being family oriented is a priority.
