Vintage photography

Modern & Alternative photography

I'm happy to say that I'm not a professional photographer in the sense that it determines what I must shoot in order to survive. 
I am professional in my pursuit of the craft. My skills, vision, ethics and how I treat my subjects are all very professional and  I work very hard to continually improve in something I shall never say I've completely mastered.
I shoot what makes me happy not just what makes me money, the two can be in precarious balance. 
I don't make my sole living from photography but live with a fuller soul because of it.
For me photography is a driving force in my life, a near obsession, a vision to pursue, an itch that must be scratched. 

The current focus of my ever changing vision is in no particular order: 

  • Showing women who think they're nothing special just how great they can look in my pictures.
  • Modern Pin-ups, Rockabilly and Vintage
  • Maternity & Infant Photography
  • Glamour & fashion
  • One of a kind senior portraits
  • Outdoor Fine Portraiture .

Most photo sessions begin at $199, that generally gets about ten 8x10 prints and print ready/web ready images on CD.

"A master, in the art of living, draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation.
He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing and leaves others to determine if he is working or playing.
To himself he always seems to be doing both."

- J. Michener
