Welcome to Studio J.

This is all about you. Your goals, your dreams, and how I can help you reach them.

As a photographer, thousands of my images have been published in books, magazines, newspapers and on-line in many websites.

As writer or editor with more than 25 years of professional experience, my work has been published in hundreds of books, national magazines, newspapers and manuscripts.

Most little girls like to play with dolls. I liked cameras. And books. So I decided to make it my life’s work and made a very nice living because of it.
I earned my BA in Journalism (cum laude), and honed my skills in writing, editing and photography through years of employment and free-lance work in the publishing business.

My work and passion culminates now in Studio J, a resource for anyone who needs a picture, a thousand words, or both. I can help you with anything you wish to write, edit or photograph.
