About me
I have been taking pictures for a LONG time, but only recently turning my talents towards fashion and glamour. I view all people as beautiful artworks, pieces to be molded and turned into fabulous masterpieces. I am passionate about what I do, but fun to work with. A smiling, happy model takes better shots and tends to feel more at ease when the photographer is jovial and friendly.
I really appreciate the number of models that have sought me out lately. I have had the pleasure of working a variety of different shoots just recently, and am looking forward to many more in the coming months. I am available for Trade shoots (TFCD, etc...), but am limited by travel, dates, and distance (as per the wife's orders). But paid gigs lift a lot of those restrictions (easier to talk the wife into letting me go and play with the camera if I am showing her cash afterwards). One way or another, please feel free to contact me about ideas you have. I am busy with my two or three different lives (military, software engineer, photographer, doggy daddy, etc...), but this is my passion, my hobby, what I do because I love to do it.
Projects that Interest Me:
Alice in Wonderland (Gone wrong, oh so wrong!)
Fairy Tale Scenes (What if. . . Image Gretel and the witch sharing a cup of tea while Hansel plumps in the oven)
Swimsuit / Summer (well, this can hold off until warmer months, or we can move in studio)
Athletic (Nike, Reebok, etc...)
Weddings (yes, in spite of these being one of the most involved, long, complex shoots, I still will do weddings. . . . Beautiful pictures, lots of work, but if I can help make their day special. . . .)
I am always open to ideas from the Models too. If you have a great idea and need a photographer, let me know!

Hair and makeup not included in the hourly rate, and if you would like me to provide, it will cost extra depending on who you would like as an MUA / Hairstylist or who I can find who is available. within a couple of weeks after the shoot, you will receive a DVD with a minimum of 5-10 retouched pictures, though I usually try to provide as many as I can get done in that amount of time (upto 30+ sometimes, just depends on the shoot)
