I hope that by now, you have clicked through my gallery and seen the variety of images I create. My emphasis is on creating heirloom quality portraits of your family that reflect the values and lifestyle that are important to you. I value my relationship with my existing clients and strive to form lasting bonds with my new clients as I continue to meet the needs of your family as it changes over the years. I established my portrait studio in 1981 and I am now photographing the children and grandchildren of clients whose own childhood portraits were made by me, as well as their high school senior and wedding portraits.
My family-operated studio values a relaxed approach that encourages each person to feel comfortable and looking their best. Drawing from the experience of raising three sons, my ability to understand a child’s personality enables me to capture the transformation that occurs from infant to young adult. The ability to help people feel comfortable while sitting for a portrait extends to reluctant husbands and boisterous pets and is reflected in my award-winning portraits.
As a graduate of Brooks Institute of Photography and recipient of a Master of Photography degree from the Professional Photographers of America, I am well-skilled at the technical aspects of lighting, posing, exposure and composition. I am often asked what kind of a photographer I am; my response is that I am mostly a portrait photographer but I really photograph almost anything! I think my website gallery and Fine Art Gallery reflect that.
From my family to yours, I welcome your visit to our website, I hope you enjoy browsing my gallery and that you will give me a call to create a portrait that your family will treasure for generations.
