Before I tell you about myself I’d like to start by telling you about my clients.  When people compliment my work inevitably I have to turn the attention back to my client.  You see, while the encouragement makes me feel good, I see my role as a collaborator.  I couldn’t produce unique and elegant imagery without wonderful clients willing to take risks with me and share themselves as we shoot.  I specialize in wedding photography, family portraits and senior pictures, traveling to your destination to capture the perfect moment in the perfect place.  From the Abbey here in Lake Geneva to the beaches of Lake Michigan in both Milwaukee and Chicago, I will be there with you every step of the way to guarantee your special moment is captured for all time.

I feel most satisfied when I can paint a picture that accurately describes what a person is like. Here are a couple of great examples:

On the left, this image captures the raw emotions that often come on wedding days.  This moment blows me away every time. You can see Margaret is laughing and crying at the same time, Dad is choking back tears, the mother of the groom has a visible tear. While you can’t see mother of the bride, you know she is also experiencing that unique combination of joy and tears.

On the right,  I have never been so moved at a wedding as I was at this one. During the service they stopped to pray and the passion and love they expressed in front of all their guests really got to me.  Photography is about people being real and then letting me paint a picture of that moment to remember it forever. This is the story that matters most: real people, real moments.

As for me, I am an artist-photographer, business coach and most importantly a husband. Married to my college sweetheart for over 15 years, my wife has become severely disabled due to MS but we have a loving relationship and manage her disease and disability well.  Wanna know more?  Click here for a brief biographical sketch.
