WELCOME!

 

Thank you for your interest in learning more about my services. Since beginning my business in 1998, I've had the honor of photographing well over 600 weddings, events and families. I take this responsibility seriously and I truly appreciate each opportunity to document these important milestones for my clients.

I'm proud to be known for my ability to document events unobtrusively yet connected to my subjects at the same time. I continually challenge myself to achieve authenticity and timelessness in my work; and strive for quality and craftsmanship for each finished piece. I simply love making people happy through photography and that is really my primary goal every day, whether I am out photographing my clients or in front of the computer working on their images (often with a smile from ear-to-ear). 

PHILOSOPHY & PROCESS: I believe in a hands-on, thoughtful approach during each stage of production, resulting in quality craftsmanship. Wedding, Event and Family photography are collaborative projects: together we are involved in creating a body of work to represent a milestone in your life and in the lives of your loved ones. Thorough communication is essential: the more I know about you, the nature of your event and your expectations, the better I am able to create the best possible final product for you, which is what we all want out of this trusting relationship. It's also important that I have positive connections and confidence in the people I've carefully chosen to work with: I work one-on-one with my photo lab, printer, binder and framer, mostly LOCAL businesses, resulting in a seamless experience.

PRESENTATION: Photographs are taken in Digital Raw Format and Traditional Film. Exquisite Color and Black & White prints are printed on museum-quality papers such as professional photographic pearl paper, a variety of Photo Rag papers and alternative surfaces. Wedding, Event & Family albums are custom designed by myself in thorough collaboration with my client to portray each and every story, creating a truly one-of-a-kind Heirloom. These books are hand-bound with the highest quality materials and expertise. Heavyweight board and thick, archival pages ensure many years of protected photographs. Cover options include imported Japanese silks, leather and vegan alternatives. Matting & Framing is completed at Providence Picture Frame, achieving superior-quality finished pieces.

 

Last but not least, I encourage anyone hosting, planning or catering an event to donate or recycle your leftover food!
