About
Located in Shirley, MA and servicing New England, I am solely here to make you look your best. I am a Computer Engineer by education but a Photographer by passion. Because of this I have never been profit-focused and have an eye for detail. I shoot because I love capturing special once in a lifetime moments. Two photos are never the same which makes photography so enjoyable to me.
I started photography on a more difficult note with astrophotography. I dove right in and learned everything I needed for those purposes. I soon was taking my camera to locations around the world for landscape photography during my hikes. In recent years I have been working with clients to capture their moments in life through portraits. I love what I do and guarantee my skills as a photographer.
I love meeting new people and traveling., There is nothing better to me than traveling out to a cool new area and seeing all things beautiful that our planet has to offer. But more importantly, the people you meet on the way are far more interesting. Everyone has a uniqueness that makes them who they are and having the opportunity to capture that is something one can only dream of.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to set up an initial call once a Client has reached out via, email, my website form, my online quick scheduler, or by phone. I will ask a series of questions to better gauge what exactly you are looking for so that I can meet your needs. After we have talked pricing I will send over a quote for you, only a portion is due upfront with the rest of the price due at the time/location of the session itself. Afterward, I will need up to 3 weeks to process the images, where you will then receive access to an online album for print purchases as well as access to digital images that will be included in the quote.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I went to school for Computer Engineering with a Minor in Computer Science and a Minor in Business Administration. I have no formal training from a University in photography but have spent the last 7 years of my life learning about the art and making my own unique portfolio of what I love to image. Because it's a true passion of mine, it does not feel like work and I do not rely on it for a living so I am able to set lower prices and give attention that is associated with a monetary value at the end of the day/ Your end result will be purely from the love of photographer and not to make ends meet.

How did you get started in this business?
I started with photography about 8 years ago when I saw a great deal on a Nikon D3300 and have always been intrigued with astrophotography. I set out to learn and create my own composures of the Milky Way Galaxy and from that point on I got hooked. Fast forward 6 years later and I have spread my skills to other subjects such as landscapes, portraits, and life events. I have heard great feedback from friends and family of my stylization and wanted to share it with the world.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I have worked with small families, college graduates, friends, family, dogs, large groups,...etc. You name it, I have more than likely had an encounter here or there.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Go with the photographer that you enjoy the portfolio of the most, not by the price tag. Most photographers have a specific way of shooting and processing images that makes them unique, going by price may not give you the result you are looking for, even if you ask for images that like ones taken with a photographer you enjoy.
