Since 1981 it has been my pleasure to photograph some beautiful horses, to design custom graphics, build web sites, paint signs, and produce custom hand-tooled leather products. After 40 years I have decided to retire from these pursuits. I still occasionally attend public events and post those photos in albums on this page for people to enjoy and share but I am no longer for hire.

THANK YOU to all of my clients over the years!

Are area schools giving caps & gowns to seniors? If so, and those seniors would like a photo taken, let me know. No charge to Neosho, Diamond, East Newton, Seneca, McDonald County seniors. Appropriate social distancing protocols are a must but we can still commemorate the occasion.

Recently I've received several inquiries to photograph weddings and engagements. While I have photographed friends' weddings in the past it is not my forte. Weddings require extra equipment which I do not have. If I don't get it right the first time there isn't a do-over which can be scheduled. There are a number of professional wedding photographers in the area and it would be best for those planning a wedding to contact them for your special day. I have no studio backdrops, special lighting equipment and offer only outdoor photos in natural settings which, If necessary, can be rescheduled if needed. Thank you for your wedding/engagement inquires and best of luck on your perfect day.

Last week I went to Mountainburg AR.
If you are traveling through the state hop on US71 at West Fork and go south toward Ft. Smith. It's a beautiful drive. Stop in and say hello the the guys, and K9 Officer Duke, at Mountainburg Police. Thanks to Cpl. Fletcher for inviting me down and coordinating the photo session.

Early this morning a young police officer from a small department in Oklahoma died. The only photo readily available of him was from his personal page. Not only did his death affect me but the fact that the small department did not have individual photos of each of their officers. Therefore I would like to make an offer to all law enforcement agencies, fire departments, ambulance services, SAR groups within 100 miles as the crow flies from Neosho MO. AT NO CHARGE I will come to your department and take photos of each and every one of your officers, including K-9s. Please share this with any department within that 100 mile radius. Contact me here, message me, or email to [email protected]. I trust that other photographers will step up and help those departments in other areas.
