HELLO.
...glad to meet you!
I began in Southwest Michigan, as a Photojournalist, working for college & local newspapers. I photographed mostly sports and features, but also did a lot of real estate for local agents. Life took me out West, where my career evolved to include more portraiture: seniors, families, weddings, and also opened up the world of retouch and design with Quicksilver Studios, in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Moving on from there, I contracted with Marketing at Big Sky Resort, in Montana, shooting all the things I ever had and more! Then, bigger sports opportunities with Root Sports and ESPN filled my portfolio, before I returned to the Midwest. I love adventures and bring my gear where most people don't.
This isn't all I do anymore, so my site is more of a portfolio than a sale. It's a professional memory as much as a current show of what I can do if you want or need it.
I hope what sets me apart is that each shoot becomes one of my adventures. My work is my chance to be alive in a moment, to make friends, to capture light, emotion and life.
Thank you for visiting! I'm happy to work with and for you!
