I love taking pictures- I have since my first photo class, when I swiped my dad's gear, then bought an enlarger. I've been at it a while- 12 years as Meier and Frank Fashion Photographer, and freelancing since I left there in 2002. A lot has changed, but not the excitement I get working with a creative team, the passion I have to perfect the shot, and the skills I have to communicate with an image.

I am a very easy going photographer, who has a knack for making clients feel comfortable in front of the camera, because of my easy going approach. I have been a professional for over 30 years, specializing in corporate events, sports, boudior and headshots. I also love working with families for portraits, and high school seniors.

I also work in motion, creating complete stories for an array of clients. When not on the road for work, I like to wander on my Harley Sturgis, joined by my favorite riding partner on her Indian, (neither of us ride bitch): my wife/producer Pat

I am artful, attention to detail and a perfectionist. Photo editing is also one of my strong skill set. I will not only meet your expectations but exceed. I am proud of my work and the time and effort I put into each project. It is a very satisfying feeling when my client loves the results.

I believe in memories, in treasured moments. And I believe that photography is a beautiful and timeless way to capture those and cherish them for years to come. Whether that be your wedding day, gathering your family for that special family portrait, capturing the perfect image for your senior yearbook or the beautiful miracle of pregnancy. I would love to be your wedding, family, senior or maternity photographer. I am a lifestyle, on-site photographer living in Vancouver, WA. I have a beautiful wife, two children and a career in mechanical engineering that keep me very busy, but couldn’t imagine not having my cameras. As a lifestyle phot...
