Sessions I offer

Kind words

From families I’ve photographed

I would never have family pictures of my kids throughout the years if it wasn’t for him. He is so great to work with! We always end up with so many awesome shots. I am still not sure how he gets all 6 of us to not blink, look in the same direction, and somehow all look great!!! Can’t wait for this year’s shoot!!!
Susan Zimmer
He has been taking our family pictures for over 15 years. His kind, gentle and warm manner makes him a dream to work with. He has an amazing eye and we love the photos he’s taken of our family. I can’t imagine working with anyone else.
Amy Wagner
We had a great experience with him from start to finish. From the first email to the fun photo shoot to the delivery of our gorgeous photos. He made the process very easy & relaxed. He is professional, fun to work with & happy and captured my family’s energy thru his lens. We had a wonderful selection of color & black and white photos. We are thankful for his kindness & talent. We have fantastic memories to cherish thru his photographs of our family.
