About Me Photography has always been one of those things that I just loved. As a kid I would spendmydays taking countless photographs with one of those "disc" cameras (they don't make them any longer), and learning creative photography with a 35mm camera in high school. As I've grown older, I've become much more of a perfectionist and am definitely my own worst critic. But, I think that's what makes someone good at something... always seeing that there is room forimprovement, and striving to be better the next day. When photographing events or people, I usually bring my lovely wife Tonia who is my extra set of eyes and helps me from missing anything. She's the best assistant any photographer can ask for (and the best wife too, of course!). My Philosophy One of the things that I enjoy most about photography is capturing people in their element. I have never been a fan of the traditional "stand up straight and say cheese" (say cheesy!) shots of old. Instead, I prefer to photograph people in their natural setting... if you love to ride horses, why not have a portrait that reflects that? If you're a sports fanatic, or an executive, or a family that flies ultralights on the weekends, shouldn't your portrait be a captured moment of your life? Traditional poses have their place, but the best portraits come from capturing who the person is, and that usually doesn't involve a paper backdrop! The other thing that is critical to me is that the people I photograph have fun! I find that the best photographs are often taken when least expected, and that's why I strive to make my photo sessions fun, enjoyable, and memorable, in settings that allow free expressions and the element of real life to come alive. What I Offer As a team, Tonia and I are devoted to serving our customers. And, that really means that when you hire me (us) you are my employer. I will listen to what you have to say and do my best to incorporate your tastes into the photography session. I will not dictate what you should wear for a portrait session, or ask you to push back your event so I can photograph another on the same day. I promise to be on-time and be focused on giving you the best product I possibly can. I also promise to get your proofs and prints to you as quickly as possible, usually within a matter of days. I am dedicated to treating you as I would want to be treated. I am here to give you the product and the experience you want. It's all about you! Technically, I use state of the art Canon digital cameras. I also employ the use of professional-grade lenses and powerful software to make the most of every image. I seldom use large strobe and flash setups at events, which tend to be more of an eyesore than a benefit. During portrait sessions, I prefer to work outdoors in the morning or evening light which is extremely flattering to nearly any individual. At all times, I try to pack lightly and travel quietly to make the sessions fun, enjoyable and descrete. In summary, I'd like to add that photography is a love of mine and not my full-time profession. I "pay the bills" as a radio engineer for a national Christian radio network, but nothing compares to taking pictures, and especially taking pictures that others will cherish. Because this is my love and not my sole source of income, I am not in this to make a fist-full of cash - I do it because I love it. I truly want you to walk away with a great experience and an awesome set of photographs. After all, isn't that what you want in the first place? -Jeremy
