My mission is to document life in such a way that you can look at these images and remember where you’ve been, what you’ve endured, and to tell your story to the generations to come. Over the years, I’ve found that when posing my clients, I was only able to tell the story of what they looked like at that time. The work that I was doing was shallow and only scratching the surface of the story that lay beneath. That is why I moved away from portrait photography and back to my roots- photojournalism or documentary photography, where I stopped posing my clients.

Now, you are probably thinking something along the lines of, “if you don’t pose us, how are we going to know what to do??” Right now the idea may seem daunting, but trust me when I tell you that it’s actually easier. I do a great amount of prep work for each and every session so that I can truly know you. This allows us to work together to not only document your life as honestly as possible, but to also structure your session in such a way that you just have to live your life (which is what we are documenting) and I will just be a silent observer, telling your story. I often say in a session that “you are just going to live, and I’m going to be your personal paparazzi for a few hours!”
