I once pried open a developing tank and unspooled a roll of film, still dripping with chemicals, and held it up to the light. On the strip of negatives I could make out my schoolmates' goofy grins, and the distinct shapes of the neighborhood cats I'd photographed just hours earlier.  I was twelve, I had just developed my first roll of film, and I thought it was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. ​
​
Decades later, I photograph people every day, and I love it.  It's consistently fun to make images that affect emotions and tell a story, and  I think the joy I feel behind the camera finds its way into the faces of the people I photograph. 
​
I joined photographic forces with Joni Dufour in 2008, and together we've earned a reputation as a creative, reliable and personable team.
​
Over the years I've photographed heads of state and Nobel laureates, but most days we're making great images of regular people.  We're as comfortable working with a time-pressed CEO or celebrity as we are with a camera-averse professor who kicks off their headshot session with, "Ok, let's get this over with".
 
Whether we're shooting a portrait or covering a day-long conference, our goal is to make our client's day better and to deliver great images that exceed their expectations.
