Portraiture, Business and Event Photographer
I am a industry educated photographer with a special passion for business, event, performance and casual wedding photography. My style is clean and genuine. Props are simple, and usually limited to things that have emotional or real connections to my subject. Available light, and on and off camera flash/lighting are utilized. My images blend technical accuracy, subtle humor, creativity. and pure emotion. I am a photographer, I am not a digital/photoshop artist. My time is not spent at the computer; it is spent in the field, with the light, with the moments that are happening: with people. My images ultimately belong to the hearts of the people in them.

Portraiture Styles Available include;

• Contemporary Journalistic ~ Natural Energy and Personal Connections. Light clothing and bright faces.


• Casual Sophistication ~ An urban chic feel. Engaging and fun. Come with your style on!


• Creative Classical ~ Emphasis on Faces. Simple and Emotional. Dark Clothing. Black and White Images only.

As you can see from my galleries, I enjoy capturing a myriad of images including: Events, Weddings, Performances, Parties, Prom, Fundraisers, Award Ceremonies, Graduations, Headshots, Luncheons, Sports, Maternity, Birth and Newborns and Portraits. I am also happy to provide non-traditional school portraiture, and specialized photo-journalism services.
