My story follows the path of many photographers who grew up with a camera in their hands before ever knowing a lifelong career would ensue. Since my youth, creating portraits has been my passion and along the way, I have also produced images for products, real estate properties and landscape photography.

In 1998, I began specializing in wedding photography and completed 700 before now deciding to concentrate on families, children and portraits. Having been tutored by some of the best wedding photojournalists and celebrity portrait photographers in the country, my goal is to produce magazine quality images. By blending candid "in the moment" photographs along with traditional, elegant portraiture, every session is complete with a variety of images from which to choose. 

Having raised three children whose early days are memorialized by many paper prints, photographic prints, now over 200 years old, still tug on the heartstrings in a way that screen displays never will. This is especially true of our younger generation who often are not having the tactile experience of seeing and touching prints permanently available and displayed. Handing down wall portraits to the next generation never goes out of style.

Texting is a way of life, but I still greatly appreciate your phone call anytime to chat when I'm not in a session or on a deadline. Your input helps me to discover what you'd like to get from new, current professional photography.

Thank you taking the time to view my photography.

 

Cheers,

Joe
