My Staff -
I have a staff of one: me!
On occasion I'll bring in an assistant or two to help with a shoot, but in most cases I'm the only one behind the camera.
Working alone lets me put all of my attention on what's actually happening in front of me.
So no matter how many photographers might be at your event — you will always be dealing directly with me.

A few words about me
As a child, I watched my father take photographs and develop them in his darkroom. I was fascinated by the way a camera could freeze a moment in time — and by how everyone loved to look at those pictures, and how they made people feel.
Photographs stir up emotion like few other things can. I understood that even more once I was older and began experimenting with my own camera. I got a real kick out of capturing moments and stopping time in its tracks — and I saw how powerfully a single photograph can carry a person back, in an instant.
Over the years I dabbled in painting, illustration, and even video. I enjoyed them all, but I finally realized that photography is the one I love above every other creative medium.
These days I do something my father would have appreciated: alongside new work, I restore old and damaged photographs — bringing faded and broken pictures back to life, so they can keep being looked at and passed on. It's the darkroom, all over again.
I love what I do, and I hope you will too.
