About

Photography is more than just an image, for me it is a memory, a smile, a laugh, a moment when the entire world stops and allows me to capture the wonder and its beauty for all of eternity.

I honestly cannot remember a time when anything was as enjoyable as holding a camera is for me.  Elegant, classic, edgy, traditional, modern, grundge, regardless of your style, we can provide you and your family with the images that will last a lifetime.  Photography is more than just a picture, it is a moment in time – a memory that is preserved for a lifetime.

Seniors

From traditional to edgy, from classy to grunge – I do not limit my sessions to any particular style, your senior year is a wonderful time – a time that deserves to be captured!  20 years from now you cannot hit the rewind button and return to your senior year, this is it, there is no second chance – leave nothing on the table – no regrets!

Equine

My experience comes from a lifetime love affair with horses and years of working with them as horseman and artistic subjects.  Equine photography is more than knowing how to produce an eye pleasing image, it is more than knowing what the proper exposure is for a given light condition, it is knowing and having a deep understanding of the interaction between horse and owner. I am more than just a photographer, I have spent a great portion of my life owning, riding and interacting with horses on a daily basis. It is in my blood. It is a way of life for me. There is an old saying “do what you love and love what you do.”  I love photography, and I also love horses. It is more than just being a photographer, it is about contrasting and combining two passions into a vocation that has exceeded my wildest dreams.
