Dedicated to the art and science of photographing people.

My mission is to create an environment where people can be themselves while they look and feel great in front of the camera.

I am proud to be a specialist in creating headshots and promotional portraits.

I understand how photography influences the way others perceive us, and I can help you update your website, look great in the press, and stand out on social media.

After directing and photographing thousands of people, I've refined my process to create an environment where people can be themselves while I help them look amazing in front of the camera.

My photography style is influenced by my passion for personal communication and social psychology.  I love meeting people and talking with them.

My job is to make a great first impression with every person I photograph.  By earning trust and forming a connection, I'm able to create authentic images.

I am a very talkative person - definitely not a "silent photographer" who expects you to do all the work.  The process of photography is tense for many people, and by keeping a conversation going, I help people relax.

My high standards mean that no one leaves the room without being happy with their photos.  I never shuffle people through when doing volume sessions.  When you hire me, you are hiring a craftsman, not a "factory-style" photographer.

I take detailed notes after photo assignments large and small, in the relentless pursuit of excellence in my craft.  I am always looking for ways to optimize the client experience!

Ultimately, all of this hard work is for the benefit those that I photograph, for I believe that every single person deserves a great photo of themselves.

a culture of respect

At every photoshoot, I strive to create an environment where people can feel comfortable being themselves. Simply put, I treat each person with dignity and integrity. We all do better when everyone feels valued and we work together for our photographic outcomes. I am an LGBTQ+ friendly photographer, committed to living out my life and career in ways that support social justice causes.
