When anyone says, "Make me look beautiful," I aim to demonstrate that it's not a matter of changing something about them, but rather capturing their true beauty & essence. It's not about hiding or masking. It's about bringing beauty to light.

Professionally shooting since 2008, my styles include photojournalistic, portraiture, and promotional. I draw on rich experiences from working all over the United States, and travels in Africa, South America, East Europe and the Middle East. I prefer an approach that maximizes a natural environment that serves to compliment the subject as the focus. Each photoshoot is treated as a unique experience for unique people. Nothing generic will do when it comes to creating pictures that will be treasured for a lifetime. Applying artistry to even the simplest of things, finding a new angle to make people see something in a new way - this is what I endeavor to do in every project.

It's a pleasure to work with people as part of a lasting relationship throughout their engagements, weddings, newborns, etc. I'm happy to work with your vision, or to share mine with you, or collaborate towards photos that will truly capture "you."

Beauty made memorable.
