About Me

Thanks for checking out my portfolio!

A bit about me: After 26 years as a firefighter I am now retired and am finally free to devote more time to my photography. Photography has been a passion and hobby of mine for a number of years, and something I take very seriously. I am always striving to improve and hone my craft, and I work hard to ensure that the results of our photoshoot reflect that.

I have been shooting sports for a number of years and am now interested in branching out into portraiture, editorial, casual, fashion and commercial (whatever styles you'd like to explore) photography. I am looking for TFCD/TFP shoots to help models build their portfolios while expanding upon my own.

I enjoy the creative, collaborative effort between model and photographer and welcome your input on our photoshoots. I'm always open to new ideas as I enjoy learning from my subjects and gaining new perspectives from them.
