Pets Are Family Too

Our pets are a big part of our family but their stay is often briefer.  It is important to catalog their lives as well.  I love all animals but have a special fondness for dogs.  People often ask, "How do you get them to sit still?"  I don't.  I just use their mobility to get those timeless shots and work quickly.

A Father's Pride

A very proud father called me and asked that I photograph his daughter's college graduation.  I could hear the excitement and pride in his voice.  In person, it was even more obvious.  I think this capture expresses his emotions perfectly.

A New Angel

My grand daughter Kaylee was born on May 4, 2011.  I have not felt this much joy, awe, amazement, ...since my children were born. 

Seniors

Seniors are as different as snowflakes.  Each has their own passions, ideas, and personalities.  I love working with them and capturing all that makes them different and beautiful in their own way.

Sisters

They fight each other and they love each other.  It is a joy to be around sisters both young and old.

Country Baby

I try to bring a natural candid feel to all of my images.  This can be especially difficult in the studio.  This baby was a natural in front of the camera though.  This image tied for second place in the Photographic Society of America International Club Competition.

Paper Boats

I love photographing children. I love their sense of wonder and adventure. For a little while, I get to be a child again.
