Hello!
I've been a portrait photographer for more than 30 years. That's bad news for me. I'm officially an old man! I love to take great, fun, creative portraits of my clients - from babies to grandparents.
I studied photography at Rochester Institute of Technology and New York Institute of Photography. I feel I truly got my education from years and years of photography.
Enough of my boring background! Want to know who I am? Read on!
I am deaf. I was born this way. I can read lips and talk well. I grew up with hearing aids but ditched these when I was implanted in 2005 with cochlear implant. My wife, Tara, my better half, usually goes with me on portrait sessions and interprets for me. She has a keen eye for stray hair and she's excellent with children.
I love sports especially baseball and football. I grew up in Maryland so I'm a diehard, life-long fan of the Orioles and the Commanders, formerly, the Redskins. I will never stop calling them the Redskins! HTTR!!
I like to think I'm funny. People say I'm funny so don't take my word for it. Blame them if you find I don't have a sense of humor. I just believe in laughter is the best medicine. I also believe in Matthew 5:16.
I'm also a landscape photographer. Visit my other website to see my work! www.paul-j-photo.com
