My Story

*In simple terms...*
    I'm just a southern guy who ended up in the northern portion of the United States.  I love my wife, kids and life.  I am a blessed guy with the love and support I receive from my wife and sons.  I have yet to go somewhere I didn't like.  Well, I might not like a few things about a few places, but overall, I liked them all.
    *My Style*
    I have always loved capturing and creating images.  I began hand drawing in either kindergarten or first grade.  A few crude, homemade comic books came out of this venture.  Before I left elementary school I was taking pictures and lining them up just right in my photo albums.  One way or another, I was going to convey the story I created or the one I captured to my finished work.  Ambitious?  Yes, but the basis for where I am today.
    I still dable with drawing.  However, my passion is photography.
    *Capturing Memories*
    I received my first personal point and shoot camera in middle school where I photographed all my friends and family through my college years.   These images were my captured memories of which I didn't want to forget... albums of documented events... my life in action.  This was the basis for my desire to capture memories as emotions in time.
    *Going Professional*
    When I stepped up to an SLR camera, the limitations I had with my point and shoot cameras dissolved.  I would shoot almost everything and for almost anyone (carry-over from my early years).  I soon started shooting for hire to cover the expenses of both my camera and computer gear.  At once, I wanted to be a photo journalist.  However, with the start of my family, I have put that route on the back burner.
    I shoot entirely digital with a totally digital work-flow.  This allows me the ability to work from almost anywhere at almost any time.
    *Focus*
    My main subjects have always been my family, who create the perfect situations and the most challenges.  It is that love of capturing these precious moments, which I offer to my customers.
