About Me

My photo
An 8th grade English teacher for the past 16 years, my interest in photography began in my early teens. An avid Fuji Velvia shooter for years, I finally purchased my first digital camera, a Canon 20D, in January of 2005. I started my photography business on the side in 2004, and it has grown into a second career. I love how my teaching profession and photography business work so seamlessly together. Today, I find myself shooting in excess of 100,000 images a year, including wedding imagery, senior and family portrait work, sports team and action shots, and my true passion, landscape and wildife. I'm actually doing what I always dreamed and I feel totally blessed.

Peter & Maggie

Magical light greeted Peter, Maggie and myself when we met up for their engagement session. On a family ranch tucked up against the base of the Bighorn Mountains, October painted the brush choked draws golden fall colors. Enjoying mountain air kissed with the breath of pine, we wandered about the property, shooting tons of images. The couple relaxed quickly and before long, we were laughing as much as we were shooting, which made for very comfortable, natural images. I have worked with Maggie's mother for 11 years, so I really wanted these images to turn out well, which brought a bit more pressure than normal. After 2 hours of shooting, the results are amazing and I'm proud to post them here.

Taylor

Taylor and his parents joined me for an increible afternoon at a local golf course. We spent 2 hours capturing a wide variety of images that best represent him at this point in his life. The low angle of late afternoon sunlight made for dynamic lighting and a host of great images.
