Welcome to my web site. As a portrait photographer, I am continuously aware of being an observer of life; watching and waiting to document an essential, defining moment. I hope you will enjoy exploring.

My practice focuses on:

• Unique, casual poses shot in the studio, or on location at your home or in a natural setting
• Specializing in wedding, high school senior, family and children’s portraits
• Offering dramatic, high-quality black & white images, with color also available

"He made me suddenly realize that photographs could reach eternity through the moment."

Henri Cartier-Bresson
