About Doris and Alan
When President George W. Bush was re-elected, Alan was selected to be in charge of his Art Department for the presidential inaugural committee. Soon after that, he was the head illustrator for the Air Force Surgeon General. To become a certified photographer, he has taken rigorous tests and has had his photographic artwork evaluated by a panel of Professional Photographers of America qualified judges. Adobe has certified him as an Expert in multiple versions of Adobe Photoshop. |

Back when Alan was a photographer in the US Air Force (he retired after 20 years as a Master Sergeant), he photographed a tough clientele! Now he relies on Doris' gentle touch to make everyone look their best. While he fine tunes the equipment and lights, she is getting everyone posed and looking their best. A bend at the waist, or a tilt to the head. She'll know how to make you look fantastic!
