Portfolio & Professional Overview


My portfolio is extensive and rooted in years of professional practice, spanning multiple photographic disciplines. It reflects a photographer comfortable in any environment and capable of adapting style, technique, and vision to the needs of each project.


The work you’ll find here includes portraiture, modeling, landscape, wildlife, home design, property, food and beverage, stock, and fine art. While the subject matter varies, the approach remains consistent: expressive color, strong atmosphere, and a distinct sense of presence.


I focus less on posed smiles and more on spirit. I work angles, movement, and composition to create images with depth and energy—avoiding a purely documentary feel in favor of something more intentional, artistic, and real. Every image is crafted to carry a mood, a story, and a sense of place.

For those looking to elevate their own photographic work, I also offer mentorship, private instruction, and occasional classes, tailored to both creative growth and practical application.


* Model/Portraiture is subject to availability. Please schedule an appointment at least one month from your desired date. 


Fees & Working Terms


If you are interested in retaining my services for a project or property, please reach out by email or phone to discuss your specific needs. Each engagement is approached collaboratively, with a focus on accuracy, atmosphere, and the visual character you want to convey.

Projects require a deposit of 50% of the agreed fee to secure scheduling and establish a production time frame. The remaining balance is due prior to the start of the project. 


My fee is usually around $200 per hour, based on labor, difficulties, post-processing and travel. 

Last-minute cancellations may be rescheduled when possible; however, refunds are not provided. By retaining my services, you acknowledge and accept these terms.
