I can’t remember the first time I picked up a camera, but somewhere along the way I knew that photography was my calling.

I was inspired by my photography and art teachers in high school and challenged by my professors in college to express my true photographic style.

I graduated from Albertus Magnus College in New Haven, CT, with my degree in photography and the studio arts.

I was fortunate to host my own exhibit titled Lumiere in 2004 at the Margaret McDonough Gallery in Connecticut.

I was manager for a portrait studio for many years following and learned that the purpose of a portrait photographer is to create images that tell the client’s individual story so that they will cherish their photos forever.

Sometimes it is the job of the photographer to stand back and let these images occur naturally, and sometimes a photographer needs to orchestrate so that the client can get the best images possible. I do this successfully by building a relationship with the customer from the start, all the technical aspects of photography are secondary

For all the families, brides, and children that I have photographed, and all the people that I have worked with, I have to say that each individual is different in their wants, needs, and personal style. I take pride in making every client happy with their photos and I hope to do the same for you.

I truly look forward to meeting and working with you in the future.
