Hey there! Thanks for dropping by!

I'm super excited to chat with you about capturing those awesome moments in your life.

So, a bit about me – I've been happily married for 29 years to my amazing bride. We've got two boys, a fantastic daughter-in-law, and a crazy Mini-Goldendoodle named Cooper. Now that we're semi-empty nesters, we really treasure our family time. Every summer, we make it a tradition to escape Central Ohio and chill at our favorite beach in Siesta Key, FL. (Pssst... it's a great spot for a cool Senior session!)

Professionally, I spent nearly 30 years in big corporate marketing gigs, focusing on digital marketing strategy and execution. But, I decided to leave that corporate hustle behind to pursue my lifelong passion for photography. I've been honing my photography skills for over 20 years, and capturing those perfect moments is my true calling.

In 2020, I took a leap and attended a national photography conference with some of the best senior photographers in the country. I even entered a photo competition, thinking I'd just learn a thing or two. Surprise, surprise – I snagged the top award for new photographers and became the 2020 Breakout Photographer of the year! While awards are cool, my main goal is to make your experience memorable, fun, exciting, and totally worth your time and investment.

I'm on a mission to get that "perfect portrait" for you – it's not just about good pictures, it's about creating artwork that'll be a timeless treasure. For over two decades, I've been diving deep into this craft, learning, investing time and resources, perfecting my digital editing techniques, and using top-notch equipment to make portraits that become more precious to you over time.

Based in Hilliard, Ohio, I specialize in senior photography, family photography, and real estate photography around Columbus, Ohio, including Hilliard, Dublin, Worthington, and Westerville. I'd be thrilled to work with you and capture some awesome moments together!

Enough about me.  Let's talk about you and make some great portraits!
