My Philosophy

Photographs should be much more than clinically accurate representations of a subject. After all, nobody wants to hang their driver's license photo above their fireplace or use it on their Christmas cards. A photographers job is to capture the true personality each individual. I want to provide my clients with heirlooms that can be passed down through generations. It is my sincere goal that each and every one of my clients absolutely love their photos. To that end, I listen to what each client wants. You choose the location. You choose the background. You choose formal or casual, color or black and white. If you see a picture you like on the web or in a magazine, bring it on the day of the shoot and we can try to reproduce it. I want you to have the images that you want. And if you don't love them, I'll re-shoot for free.
