I’m Chris . I’m a father to two handsome young men, and husband to an Iowa native who is also an artist. I was born in California and grew up in Nebraska. For the last 20 years I have been serving clients all over the United States from my home base in Southwest Iowa.

I have always loved nature and wildlife, and have served for a number of years on my local and state county conservation boards. I’m a coffee and chocolate addict. My other loves include dogs, Mexican food and margaritas.

I’ve photographed governors, actors, astronauts, Miss America, pro football players, and dignitaries from all over the world.  But more often I’ve photographed people just like you. I enjoy taking part in the people’s big days, large and small events, and even sometimes their sad days. 

I am a people person. I like to laugh and have fun, and I promise to do these things at your portrait session. I have children and pets myself, and also a lot of experience photographing other people’s. I want our brief time together to be fun, and not a stressful experience. Photos are so very important. Our lives are constantly changing, children grow up in the blink of an eye. 

Pictures preserve more than just a moment, they preserve a feeling. If you’re considering photos for your business, marketing images, family or senior portraits,  or are recently engaged, I’d love to discuss your vision with you.  Thanks for stopping by!
