About

As a photographer who is a father, husband, friend, cancer-warrior,and explorer, I'm passionate about people and life. I love capturing people's experiences in that instant the shutter closes, helping to create memories that invoke the thoughts and feelings around our most important memories.

Q&As

It's really about what you capture and the subjects. I ask lots of questions so that I can get you the picture you're looking for. Certainly lighting, accessories and location all play an important part of taking a great picture but most importantly its about you.

Depending on the type of picture or event I typically ask a lot of questions, for you to think about so you can get the outcome you want from your session.
- [ ] What is the purpose of your shoot?
- [ ] Who are the subjects?
- [ ] What will you be wearing?
- [ ] What is the color of each subjects hair, eyes and skin tone?
- [ ] Will you need make-up or hair styling?
- [ ] Are there any wardrobe changes?
- [ ] What colors will you be wearing?
- [ ] Who will be seeing the pictures?
- [ ] What emotion or reaction do you want viewers to have, when they see your pictures?
- [ ] What is important to you about this shoot?
- [ ] What shot(s) should I be sure to get?

- [ ] Are there any angles or poses you are not comfortable with?

- [ ] Will we need permits or permission to shoot in any of your locations?
- [ ] What format do you want see your pictures in?

I love being able to capture a moment in the life of my subjects. Something that not only creates a memory but stirs an emotion. My favorite shoots probably involve children and animals. Recently, I was asked to do portraits for a newborn baby. He had been through a tough time after birth and was so calm and wonderful to work with. A little fighter and such a gift.

The work I do in developing countries working in communities inspired me to document their lives, struggles and successes using photography, and that led to me expanding that to do photography as a career and lifestyle.

I work hard too ensure my clients feel comfortable and happy with the work I do. I have some clients that I've been with for many years and have been there to document the stages and changes in their lives and the lives of their families. I have others who I see maybe once or twice. The thing that ties the two together is that they know I did and will go above and beyond to create pictures they love.
