I work daily with musicians, artists, creative teams, actors, and families. We create a vision together, and work to implement and bring that to life.

I feel that with photographer, you learn best by actively trying, and with digital photography, you're able to quickly works towards mastery alongside of someone else.

I began shooting photos in 1987 on film, learning to create a beautiful photo straight out of the camera. While photoshop is a wonderful luxury, my goal remains the same, use my camera settings to capture the best shot with as little post editing as possible. Learning how your camera works and how to use settings to your advantage, can make you a great photographer as well!
