It’s my job to capture just a few moments of it for you. So that in 5, 10, 20 years from now you can remember every aspect and detail of your brand new baby’s smille or look back on the time that your toddler refused to wear anything but the color orange and cowboy boots. When you look back at your photos I want you to smile and be filled with happiness and joy. I am an on-location and in-studio,
specializing in natural light portraiture. Rather than being the director, I prefer to allow the children & families I shoot to use their freedom to be themselves, to laugh, to explore, to let their personality shine through in each photo. I view each photograph I take as a gift, a single, captured moment. I like to think of myself as a storyteller and strive to capture life in my photography; honest to goodness tangible LIFE, the kind of images you can sink your heart into....Not only do I want you to look at your photographs and feel them all over again but I want your great grandchildren to look at them and feel it too. I care very much about attention to detail, preserving your memories and giving my clients a great experience. This is accomplished in many ways, including limiting the number of booked sessions each month. My photography is a gift given to me by God, that I treasure very much. My gift is meant to be used to pass on to others. For that reason I donate my photography services to various charities around the St. Charles Area. If you know of a charity that is need of a photographer please let me know. I am always looking for ways to give back. I am married to my best friend, Nick, whom I fall more in love with every second of everyday. I have a weakness for chocolate chip cookies right out of the oven, will never have the willpower to turn down a Starbucks’s Cinnamon Dolce Latte, I love and adore Jesus and find true joy in simple ordinary life. I look forward to meeting you and your family!
