About
“A Professional Photographer is someone who gets the picture, every time” – Tony Corbell
I have shaped my photography business to meet that standard. Years of photographing live concerts have taught me, that there are no excuses and very few second chances. My goals are clear communication with my clients, well defined expectations, and delivering work quickly and reliably. I have the experience and tools to capture great images in any light conditions and circumstances. My style is photojournalistic, I capture the story, the people and what happens. My solutions are customized to client needs and my rates have no hidden surprises.
I enjoy the challenge of capturing my clients vision and work with them to ensure they are pleased with the result. Bringing their ideas to live or infusing my own ideas into my clients' concepts is a thrill.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Awards......every photographer has them. Our community has more awards than you can shake a stick at. The only award that matters to me are repeat customers. To me it means I have earned their trust to get them the images they need.
I am published in numerous magazines. The ones I am proudest of are Rolling Stone and Elle.
How did you get started in this business?
I found my passion for photography way back in 1988 while working on cruise ships. I started working with clients in 2010.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I work mostly with commerical clients for events, sports and journalism.

The challenge of capturing 90 commercial locations in Minnesota in the depth of winter and completing the task on time against weather challenges.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Look for consistency and reliability. It's easy to spend hours on a few photos in photoshop to make them look perfect. Professionals deliver results on time, on buget and capture what needs to be captured.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
Tell me about a project that is similar to mine that you have completed, the challenges, and the lessons you have learned from it.
