I get it. We all like to save when we can. I’ve used coupons. I’ve held off on buying something until it hit clearance. There are some things that just don’t work the same way when you go for the lowest price, and photography is one of them. A product on sale is still the same product. The brand,...
In all my years of photographing, it is pretty rare for a guy to be excited to learn that he’s just been signed up to partake in a photo session. At that moment, scrubbing the bathroom and taking out the trash likely sounds more appealing. Most (yet not all) guys feel that photography just isn’t...
As a mom, you probably have a million photos of your family. You realize that your children won't be young forever and you never want to miss an opportunity to preserve the moment. But how many of those photos are YOU in? When I ask girls to point out their favorite images to me, the ones they...

Victor and Samantha had invited me to stand along side them through their engagement and wedding day, so when asked if I would photograph their new little family of three, there's no way I could say no! The new mom and dad instantly fell in love with the idea of a lifestyle newborn session,...
I first photographed Christine and Ryan when they were guests at her aunt's wedding. Since that day nine years ago, we've met for couples sessions, engagement, multiple weddings (including their own), and extended family sessions. Although they've been in front of my camera countless times, I...
