My Journey…

I was born in Boston, but grew up in Upstate NY outside of Albany. I enlisted in the U.S. Navy and after a stay in Memphis, TN, I landed in Jacksonville serving on the Aircraft Carrier USS John F Kennnedy, where it took Me around the World.

During my time in my Navy travels I bought a camera and captured my Travels in photos and became hooked on Photography. I was blessed to have two beautiful Daughters while serving here in Jacksonville and when I got out out of the Navy, I made it Home.

I continued taking photos of my Girls as they grew up and started to refine my craft by going to the Library and Bookstores, reading every magazine and book that had information on becoming a better Photographer. I took some college credit Photography courses, attended workshops, joined Photography Clubs, and picked the brains of prominent professionals in the field.

As my skill and confidence increased I decided to do this professionally. I have been shooting professionally for about 5 plus years now. I have been published and have been instrumental in launching the modeling, acting, and music careers of several clients. I am skilled with Portraits and Head-shots, but I am skilled at many different genres of Photography which includes: Events, Engagements, and Weddings. If you have a Business, I can help you with Images to use on your Company’s Website and/or Social Media. I am a published photographer. Registered LLC and carry General Liabilty Insurance.

I am professional, dependable, and punctual. I love shooting and take every photo-shoot seriously. I am open to all requests and your Vision is very important to Me. My goal is to always to exceed your expectations and won”t stop shooting until We have the shots you desire. I have worked with Models and Non-Models so you needn’t worry about posing and what to wear. I make your Photography Experience painless, comfortable, and fun!
