The Family

 

I am a proud Husband and Father of five children.  They give me the inspiration to wake up every morning and be better at the things that I do.

My background in photography began at an early age.  My youth was filled with photographing the moments in my family.  I started with film camera models such as the 110, 126 and disc.  But it was not until my Father gave me a Minolta Maxxum camera that it became more that just random family pictures.   My formal photography education began in high school and continued through college.

I now use the latest digital cameras.  But the camera is just the tool.  Photography is really about the eye of the person shooting with the camera.  

The Passion

I have owned a wonderful portrait studio in the past.  But it was not until I started  photographing on the beaches of Hilton Head Island that I found my passion.  It clicked for me.  I now try to blur the line between traditional photography and painted art.  I hope this gallery of images reflect what I want to create with your family.  Clients say I want a display canvas of this one because it is a piece of art.  I love that comment!

Please allow me to extend my passion of photography to your family.
