Bio

I absolutely love taking photos of people in virtually any setting: weddings, parties, portraits, boudoir... all of it.  I love getting to know you as an individual, and finding ways to bring across your personality, beauty, and spirit into the final images.  I find that means giving you just enough guidance to find poses that make for creative and exciting images while giving you the time and freedom to be yourself.  It also means telling jokes, stories, and wisecracks so you see that glow in your eyes with every shot.  Even if you're the most camera-shy person imaginable, you'll have a blast during a session with me.

Before becoming a professional photographer, I spent decades running complex projects for companies like Amazon and Microsoft.  Since switching careers, I've thrown myself into the study of the technical and artistic aspects of the world of photography with equal fervor.  That means you get the best of both worlds: the rigor and reliability of the corporate world combined with the eye for color, lighting, emotion, and storytelling of the artistic world.  I'm one of the rare people with the experience to give you both.

Experience

Volunteer Photographer
Elevating Connections
08/2022 – 08/2023

I spent a full day at a summer camp for foster kids to be reunited with their siblings. I shot candid, posed, and action shots as the kids participated in a variety of activities (hiking, swimming, horseback riding, zip lining, archery, hatchet throwing, etc.). The shoot was complicated by tricky lighting (uneven shadows in the forest, and a wide variety of skin tones), and needing to get shots which only had family groups together.
