"I am a professional
photographer specializing in photographs
of children, of everything automotive,
and of special events. I'm happy to
work with you to help document a person,
a day, or just a specific event in your
life or your company's history. My style is more about capturing
the day or event or person as they are - while I recognize you may
want posed or formal portraits and we can cover those if they are important
to you - I think you'll find the candid and
less
formal photos I take throughout a day
will be the ones you return to and talk about more often than the more formal images.
I started in photography as early as 4th grade with my family giving me a Nikon FG. That singular act of
faith in me when I was so young set me on a path to love and embrace photography as a creative outlet.
Since then I have shot with several different cameras and several different formats. Today my tools of choice
are still Nikon F5 for film and Nikon D2x for digital with a wide array of lenses. The 35mm SLR and high
resolution D-SLR camera format give me the
maneuverability and the
flexibility to be spontaneous and capture
the images that represent my subjects."
