Capturing each moment of life through photography is our passion. Our goal is to give you the best, no matter what it takes!
About the Artist
As a freshman in college, studying the arts, I developed a great interest in the realistic painters. While studying painting, I found that I could achieve my goals through photography, so I chose to use a camera as my brush.
After years of apprenticeship and study, I graduated from Florida Institute of Technology in Jensen Beach in June of 1985 with an honors degree in Photographic Technology.
I am passionate about using the talents God has blessed me with to capture not just what a person looks like, but the special times in one’s life. Whether the moment is created or captured, fiction or fantasy, I strive to make my photography a work of art.
Due to the custom nature of our work and the many options available to you, please contact our studio for a free no obligation consultation to discuss designing a one-of-a-kind image designed just for you.

THE RULES OF ENGAGEMENT:
1) I do not accept TF* requests. My port is built and I no longer need TF* work for that purpose. If you ask and I do not respond, please do not be offended. If you are not already in my portfolio or I have not sent you a personal invitation, chances are I'm not going to have time to do a trade shoot with you. If you think you have an outstanding look or super idea it sure as hell can't hurt to ask.
I might be bored or slow you never know??
2 ) Unless you are an *established* art nude model that can provide me with high quality images I can sell to collectors, I DO NOT PAY AMATEUR MODELS!
I DO PAY PROFESSIONAL MODELS for Workshops and MY CLIENTS (It is my personal opinion that if an amateur photographer wishes to pay an amateur model simply for portfolio work, they both get what they deserve.)
3) If I suggest you join me for lunch, dinner, coffee or whatever, don't flatter yourself with the idea that I am asking you on a date. I do like to have pre-shoot discussions with models I have not shot before. If I offer lunch/dinner during a break in a shoot or afterward, its because I get hungry, I figure you do too.
4) Please come to your shoot well rested and ready to go. If you show up hungover, sleepless or bedraggled it will show in your photos. That doesn't do either of us any good. This is particularly important if you are working on a client shoot. If you are not prepared for a client shoot, you will be asked to leave. And, yes, that means you don't get paid.
5) A model release must be signed before we commence shooting. I don't allow modifications to my release except under special circumstances. You must bring and allow me to photograph valid identification such as a drivers license or passport. If you are under 18, I will need to photograph or be given a photocopy of identification of the parent or legal guardian that signs your model release. If I cannot verify your age and identity or that of your parent/guardian, I will consider your model release invalid and your shoot will be delayed or cancelled.
6) If we are doing a fashion shoot or I am having a designer custom build your outfit for your shoot, you must be available for fittings several days prior to the shoot if need be. Missing the fitting means you miss the shoot. The math is simple, really.
7) If you want "all" your images you must buy the rights for those images first. This option is not cheap. Unless you purchase the rights, the images remain under my artistic control and I will decide which images to edit and publish.
8) Unless one of us has a pressing need, cell phone ringers must go off during a shoot. We will have plenty of breaks to check messages as need be.
9) Please return emails and phone calls in a timely manner. If you have questions or ideas, you can write or call me any time of day or night. Ask questions. Offer ideas. I appreciate your input. If you are going to be late for a shoot, please call. I won't rip your head off. I'm quite understanding and forgiving *if* you will simply communicate with me.
10) Last, and certainly not least, I want your experience shooting with me to be fun and productive. I will give you as much energy and time as I can and I expect the same from you in return. I will work very hard with you to help you improve your technique and teach you every little trick I can to help you become a better model. It's part of what I enjoy about doing portfolio work. Come with an open mind and a willingness to work and you will walk away with more than just photos.
