The Art is in the Details

My photography is built on a lifetime of looking closely. It’s a style honed over years—from my start in a portrait studio and the disciplined days of film, through the transition to digital. Now, at 57, I'm channeling that entire journey into a new chapter: creating environmental portraits that blend the technical precision of professional photography with the thoughtful eye of fine art.

My approach is shaped by my love for portraiture and a deep focus on the details and expressions that reveal a true story. I am driven to work with individuals, professionals, and small businesses who are ready to elevate their brand with authentic imagery that not only stands out but also fosters a genuine connection within the community.

My own story is one of finding home in wide-open spaces. Born and raised in a small Pennsylvania town, I spent time in New Mexico before settling in West Texas for 25 years. For the last three years, I’ve been proud to call the Texas Panhandle home, and I am currently located in Canyon.

I am endlessly inspired by the raw beauty of this region—not just in its grand landscapes, but in the texture of its fields, the character of its architecture, and the resilient spirit of its people. It’s a privilege to tell those stories, and I would be honored to help you tell yours.
