A Lifetime Behind the Lense
I picked up my first camera in 6th grade and was immediately hooked on the photographic adventure. I was always artistic and when I discovered the image creation possibilities of photography I knew this was part of my destiny. By the time I was in high school I had learned to develop film and create enlargements in the darkroom. I loved the process and the experience of the darkroom but really believe my image creation exploded upon the discovery of the possibilities in the digital realm.
I worked as a newspaper photographer after high school which gave me the opportunity to interact with a variety of people and cultures. My curiosity was inflamed with the possibilities of what I could do with my camera. After my newspaper experience I worked for a period of time as a concert photographer before I transitioned into a studio photographer doing portraits and weddings in the midwest mostly.
I love collaborating with clients to define and create the kinds of images treasured and valued for many years.
