Portrait and Commercial Photographer

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to stories, in people, in nature, in the landscapes and structures around me. Growing up in the Midwest, I was surrounded by bountiful farms, tight-knit communities, and hardworking people. Every moment held a story worth telling. Let me help you tell yours.
That early fascination with nature and human character set me on a path toward photography, and for more than 25 years, it’s been my life’s work. Along the way, I’ve had the opportunity to photograph notable people and some of the world’s most striking landscapes. Today, my work spans both the personal and the professional: one-of-a-kind family and senior portraits, corporate headshots and event coverage, aerial photography for developers, contractors, and architecture firms, and commercial imagery, from product and food photography to aircraft and real estate listings — built to sell without saying a word.
When you’re choosing a photographer, you have plenty of options, some with flashier marketing, others who move through sessions as fast as they can book them. That’s not how I work, and I don’t believe it’s what my clients, personal or commercial, are looking for.
I take the time to get to know the people, places, and products I’m photographing, so I can tell a story that’s genuinely theirs. Whether I’m documenting a building’s construction from the air, capturing a senior’s personality in a single frame, or shooting a menu item so it practically leaps off the page, the goal is the same: thoughtful composition and careful, understated editing that make every image hold up as a lasting piece of work, not just a deliverable.
Clients often describe my approach as patient, passionate, and professional. Sometimes the shot comes together exactly as planned. Other times, it means waiting for the light to soften, the breeze to settle, or the clouds to shift, on a portrait session or a job site. More often than not, that waiting becomes part of the story itself.
Whether you’re a family, a business, or a brand, everyone has a story worth telling. I’d love the opportunity to learn yours.
