Before my career. Before children. Before I ever picked up a camera and before this whole photo thing turned into a side gig, a passion project, and whatever it is now — I married Lauren. She’s been my better half, my rock, and my person for the last 22 years. And she’s still, without hesitation, the most important person in my life.

The lovable patriarch of 101 Dalmatian fame — and, more importantly, the beloved companion of Emile and Brian. At 14 years old — nearly a dog-year centaurian — this old boy carries the kind of quiet wisdom and love that only comes from a lifetime spent right beside his people.

It’s the Canon 70-200 f/2.8L IS USM V1 — a.k.a. the lens that looks like it fell out of my pickup, rolled through a gravel lot, and got kicked by one of my twins on the way to the field. And honestly? It probably did. I bought it “heavily used,” which basically means it had already lived a full life — and then got handed to me for overtime duty.

Our phones are full of snapshots: kids being silly, vacations, blurry food pics we swore looked artistic in the moment. We snap, we scroll, we save, and then… we forget. All those memories? They quietly get buried in digital purgatory, right between the Notes app grocery list and your 47 attempts at the “good angle” selfie.

Here’s the truth: your memories deserve more than a swipe and a scroll.
They deserve to be printed. Displayed. Passed down. Loved.

I’ll just say it upfront: the Canon RF 28-70mm f/2 is not a casual lens. This thing is a beast — physically and optically.

I do everything I can to help you feel at ease. That starts with clear communication beforehand and continues with a healthy dose of personality throughout the session. The last thing anyone needs is a cold, distant photographer.

We love working with teams — big or small, t-ball to varsity. Baseball, soccer, football, basketball, wrestling — whatever the sport, we’re all in. We bring energy, organization, and creativity to every session, capturing the classic team and individual shots you expect plus the bold, modern images that make parents and players say, “Whoa.”

Football season is here — which means it’s time for muddy cleats, late-night nacho dinners, and parents everywhere trying to capture their kid’s game-winning catch from the nosebleeds with a phone camera set to "panicked zoom."

Let's be candid — there’s a lot about senior year that’s a blur of deadlines, decisions, and figuring out where life’s headed next. But your senior photos? That’s your moment. It’s not just a yearbook headshot. It’s the one time you get to freeze who you are right now — before everything changes. Life comes at you fast — Senior photos help immortalize the real you at this pivotal junction of your life. It’s a worthwhile investment to document who you are now to compare it to who you were and who you will be.

Let’s be honest—there are a lot of us out here. You could toss a rock into your local Facebook group and hit five photographers offering everything from bargain-basement mini sessions to premium, high-end experiences. The real challenge isn’t just finding a photographer—it’s finding the right one for you: someone whose style, vibe, and price tag line up with your needs.
