I grew up in Iowa on the south side of Des Moines. I am a self taught photographer. I picked up a camera in high school and I never seemed to put it down after that. I have been photographing various weddings, seniors, kids and families for over 25 years. As well as experimenting with other types of photography, not just people to help me stay creative.

While the industry has changed over the years from film to digital, I still continue to listen to what the client wants. Each person brings along their own special something, that thing that makes them unique. It's my job to draw that out and capture it, make it last so it can be shared and relived.

I know the importance of having a portrait taken. It's something that you can never take for granted. After losing my mother to cancer in 2007, I know the the photos I do have of her I will cherish, and pass them on to future generations.

Photography is an expression that moves me to create a one of a kind piece. I know there are many other photographers out there and I want to thank you for your interest. If you have any questions feel free to contact me. If there ever was a time to have photos taken it is now. Don't miss out on the opportunity to create a lasting memory, that you will treasure for years.
