About Me:
I took up photography in 1990 and have loved every moment of it.  I originally focused on photojournalism, but started working with models soon after.  I shoot for love of the art though, not for business.  I have a full time job, so I'm willing to work within someone's budget if they need a photographer for a project.

**Regarding TFP**
A lot of the shots in my portfolio comes from TFP shoots.  I'm happy to do them, because I wouldn't want to pass up the opportunity to shoot that one iconic image that will one day become my masterpiece solely because a model couldn't afford a shoot with me.  I would rather create art.  YOU (models, MUA's, Stylists, Etc) are the people who can help me do that, so you're welcome to ask.
On the same token though, I will say I am selective about who I'll shoot TFP with.  If you're going to ask, then please bring something to the table.  Bring commitment; bring passion; bring beauty; bring inspiration; and bring flexibility (white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookies are also nice to bring ), but do not bring arrogance and attitude.  Mutual respect is what expect and what I give.

Please feel free to contact any of the models or MUA's on my Top 12 Friend's list, or click on the list of models I've worked with for references from models I've worked with.

SPECIAL OFFER ON HEADSHOTS FOR MM MEMBERS - ONLY $100!!
I'm offering a special rate on headshots...$100.00.  That includes the shoot, plus all the images from it.  If you bring a laptop, I'll download the images from my camera straight to it; or if you prefer to bring your own SD media card, I'll shoot the images on it and then you simply take the card at the end of the shoot with all the files.  On top of that, I'll edit 3 of the best images.  Any other retouching would be extra.

Make a great first impression with a headshot that shows them who you really are.
I stand behind my work and won't be satisfied until you are.  (Cash or Venmo only please; no Checks or credit cards)

RETOUCHERS
Please stop.  You come across like that desperate guy sitting at the bar at 1:30am begging anyone to just talk to him.  I've never met pushier group on this site.  I'm sure some of you are good, but there are others just trying to make a fast buck.  I made the mistake of paying someone to edit a very important image for me and all they did was add a color overlay and then erase the area with the  model...sloppily.  As the old saying goes, "Fool me once..."  All one has to do, is look at the people who respond to your tags to see you write the exact same praising comment on every profile, regardless of how good or bad the model or photographer is.  Stop begging for handouts like some homeless guy at a freeway off ramp, pick up a camera, and learn how to shoot your own content.
