Specialties
I really enjoy photographing families in their home to create more personalized photos that inspire memories in the years to come.
When I photograph weddings, I am inspired by all the emotions of the day to capture those fleeting moments charged with emotion.
History
Established in 2010.
My first official job as a photographer was working with a wedding photographer in Olympia, WA for two seasons, and I loved it!
After years of working in museums and universities (The Art Institute of Chicago, Yale, and Harvard), I realized how much I missed photographing people. The energy of a couple in love, a wedding, the happiness and compassion exhibited by parents playing with their children – THAT’S what I really enjoy capturing in my photos.
Thanks to the support and encouragement of my wonderful wife, I made the leap and started this wedding/family photography business, and I couldn’t be happier. Every photo shoot is an opportunity to share in the joy and love between people, and doing my best to capture all those emotions is such a wonderful and fulfilling challenge.

I have been a very visual person since a young age, starting with my Kodak disc camera when I was around 12, and continuing on from there. Growing up in Cincinnati, Ohio, I had a lot of fun photographing my friends and the woods near my parents’ house. It was a great hobby, and I never really considered it more than that. After high school I found work at a local camera shop chain. I loved that job as it surrounded me with both creative and technical people who loved photography, and I got a great education and accessibility to some great equipment while I was at it.
When I moved to Olympia, Washington to attend The Evergreen State College, I had a plan to get a degree in English or Sociology. Both are great subject areas, however, the first class I took allowed me to use photography in my final project, and I jumped at the chance. By now, the signs were hard to ignore, so I changed majors, dove headfirst into the photographic world and never looked back.
