Thank you for viewing my port.

After years of photographing friends, family, co-workers, pets, reunions, weddings and sporting events I've decided to concentrate on portraiture and glamour style photos. I'm equiped to do studio as well as location shoots.

I welcome experienced and inexperienced models who can be themselves, have fun and work with me to create images we can both be proud of. I do this because I love it and if I ever get to the point where it's no longer challenging and fun I'll stop doing it.

My initial contact will be professional, respectful and courteous as will all other emails, phone conversations, meetings and of course the actual shoot. Feel free to contact any of the models, MUA or photographers I've worked with for references. I have fun at shoots and want the model to have fun as well but most importantly feel relaxed and comfortable.

I enjoy doing everything from low key black & white to bright, colorful images utilizing natural and strobe lighting. I take my work seriously and will do my best to accomplish the results you're looking for.

I do basic retouching/enhancement using Photoshop CS5 but prefer to leave the image as close as shot as I can in order to retain natural beauty. If you would like something a little more detailed or dramatic I can get that done as well.

If you have an idea, theme or look you would like to accomplish please don't hesitate to discuss it with me. I want you to be able to look at your new images and think, This is even better than I expected.

If you received a Friend Request from me or I respond to your Friend Request, it is not because I'm a friend collector but an indication that I'm interested in your look and would like to work with you, or, I just admire your work or look and want you to know. I'm constantly amazed at the skill, talent and creative ability of the models, MUA, Photoshop wizards and photographers on this sight therefore I occasionally extend a friend request as a compliment of your work.

If at any time during our communication and negotiation you decide you are no longer interested, PLEASE tell me. I will do the same if something comes up on my end. Setting up for a shoot is not difficult but does require time and preparation, especially when travel is involved. If something comes up at the last minute, which certainly can happen, PLEASE let me know as soon as possible and we can reschedule the shoot.

I'm not up to speed on the current texting trend of abbreviated words, phrases & symbols. Therefore, I may not understand what the content of your message is attempting to convey if it contains a large number of 1 or 2 letter words.

I look forward to hearing from you and welcome any comments, suggestions or criticisms on my work.
