portrait photographer of the San Juan Islands, documentary photographer of Washington, wedding pho  I started shooting when I was about 14. After obtaining my Masters in Art Ed in Georgia, I had a 7 year fling as a mountain guide and ultimately settled on the Pacific Northwest after becoming a father.  I started shooting a lot more again when my beautiful son was lighting up my life. People said I had a knack for capturing genuine happines in a person’s portrait.

I crave taking cool photos. I want to shoot all day when I have the chance, so I became a wedding photographer. I love to be in the middle of a tear jerking moment, and ultimately, I feel honored and blessed to be able to tell someone’s story.

Living on a boat in the San Juan Islands has put me right in the middle of the action for destination weddings.  These days, my teenager and I reside on Orcas Island.  But I REALLY like those calls for ceremonies in far off exotic places.

My style is extremely laid back, and all I ask of my clients is for them to be themselves.  I prefer to work alone and with natural light.  It lends itself to a fly-on-the-wall unobtrusive style that is never distracting or intimidating for clients.  Kids, shy folk, and self proclaimed picture haters are my specialty.
