About Me

If you’re a per­son that needs to be pho­tographed, I want to be the one who does it. I love shoot­ing por­traits, I love catch­ing fleet­ing moments, ges­tures, expres­sions. I love record­ing events, impor­tant days, momen­tous occa­sions, every­day hap­pi­ness. While I some­times pho­to­graph things that are not peo­ple, I am dri­ven by, and derive the most sat­is­fac­tion from, tak­ing com­pelling pho­tographs of peo­ple, what­ever the rea­son. Can­did or for­mal, color or black and white, I have expe­ri­ence shoot­ing wed­dings, fam­i­lies, pro­fes­sional head­shots, event pho­tog­ra­phy, mod­el­ing work, etc.

I shoot 100% dig­i­tal because of the sim­pli­fied work­flow, but can shoot film as well, upon request. I enjoy film, but find much more con­trol and effi­ciency in the dig­i­tal dark­room (but, of course, sac­ri­fice the con­tact high from dark­room chemicals).

If you like what you see, I am avail­able for hire, and have a full com­ple­ment of pro­fes­sional equipment–cameras, lenses, and light­ing. Please con­tact me and we’ll come up with a pho­to­shoot cus­tomized to your needs.
