Who the heck am I? I’m a photographer, designer, artist, father, husband and constant student of life. I’ve been a photographer for nearly a decade, but have only recently jumped into the profession with both feet. My background includes photojournalism training as well as a degree from The Photography Institute, where I was mentored by photographers renowned in the industry.

I approach each photo like it has a unique story to tell. But getting a great shot is only the beginning. After each session, I spend time processing and color correcting each image to add that final bit of magic.

If I have a personal style, I would say it’s to capture real people in real settings. I generally don’t use backdrops, stereotypical props or forced-looking poses. Reality tells a much better story.
