About Me

Not all photographers are created equal! Some photographers live and breathe photography and art. Some photographers just pick up a camera, take photos, and collect a paycheck. I'm definitely that first one.

When I was in high school I needed one more elective, so my dad convinced me to take photography. He lent me his old Minolta film camera, and I went in not too sure what to expect. I ended up falling in love with photography and took every class I could. I was the yearbook photographer, started a photography club, and always had a camera hanging from my neck. I even had my own darkroom at our house that I pretty much spent all my free time in.

One day a photographer came to our school to take portraits, and I started asking him a million questions. Much to my delight, he invited me to work for him as an assistant. I really just carried his bags, set up lights, and loaded his cameras (yes it was film days!). But eventually he let me take photos too. At that point I was hooked! I knew I wanted to be a photographer.

I decided to go to college for photography and got a scholarship to Savannah College of Art and Design. I made it through the first year, but it was a tough road. So I ended up going back to West Palm Beach to get a dual bachelor's degree in Marketing and Management at Northwood University. I took a little career detour and worked as an alumni director, planning large and small events throughout the US and connecting with alumni. It was fun for a while, but my heart just wasn't in it.

Eventually I decided to take a leap of faith and step away from the corporate world. In 2011 I started my photography business, something I probably should have done years before. My heart always belonged to photography.

All the trials and tribulations, all the twists and turns, all the highs and lows brought me here ~ with a vibrant photography business, finally doing what I love!

When I'm not lugging around camera gear, you'll find me scouring the beach for seashells, sipping sour apple martinis with my beautiful wife....or I'm neck deep in a craft project or two.

Also I love cake (but with real frosting, not that gross whipped topping), my favorite color is lime green, my spirit animal is a flamingo, and I pretty much live in Lilly Pulitzer outfits.
