I've spent the last two decades celebrating my family through photography. The result is a collection of images that's more valuable to me and my family than anything we own. I've made art from my relationship with my parents and grandparents, the love my wife and I have for each other and the birth and growth of our three beautiful children. 

 

Now, I want to do the same for you and your family. It's the reason I decided to leave a successful career in the business world years ago and become a full-time professional photographer. 

 

Wherever you are on your journey through life, I can make you a promise: If you begin, right now, to document the special people and moments in your life through quality photography, some day soon you will consider it one of the most important decisions you've ever made. There's no doubt about it. 

​

The Process

​

If you make the decision to work with me, our time together will begin with a consultation. It's an opportunity for us to get to know one another. In addition to answering any questions you have, I will also learn about your family, your style preferences and any ideas you might have on the photos we ultimately take. I don't just want to take photos of you, I want to work together to create art with you. If we do it together, the end result will be more personal and meaningful compared to photographs that don't factor in your taste and ideas.

​

Once we have a plan in place for the wardrobe, location, schedule and style, the session will take place either in my studio or at another location that we'll select together.

​

Finally, after the images have been edited / retouched, you will be invited into the studio for a reveal, during which you will be shown the images for the first time, and decide which ones you wish to take home to enjoy for generations to come.
