Welcome friends, family, and interested future clients!
I like to shoot all types of things, but as you'll see on my website, my specialty is people. To get shots I have crawled around the ground, chased kids, stood on ladders, and even been up in a utility "bucket" truck! I do whatever I have to in order to follow the natural progression of events, letting the client be himself or herself (although there might be some attempts to get them to laugh naturally). It is my experience that you can try as you might to set up the "perfect" shot, but usually the best pictures are those that just happen. I just have to make sure I am open to the experience at the time and am ready to get the camera to my eye quickly. I always ask my clients what they have in mind for the look and feel of their photos (such as to ask them to look at other websites and give me some examples of what they like) and attempt to get that for my clients. However, my style in general is flexible and natural to capture people's personalities without photographer-provided "props."
My natural inclination to be introverted and stay out of the spotlight works well for my style of photography. I am not the kind of photographer who uses the words "say cheese" often! The current term for my overall style is the "photojournalist" style, which basically means that if I am shooting an event, like a wedding, I will stay out of the way and try to capture the story naturally, much like a photographer who works for a newspaper does. As such, my images (other than requested formal photos) look and feel different from many other photographers.
If you like my work and would like me to photograph you, your family, or for your organization, I recommend you take a look at the Questions page before contacting me (by email or phone - info on the left).
Peace,
