“ My portfolio showcases the heart and soul of Madeira Beach - from intimate beachfront weddings along our pristine Gulf shores to sun-drenched family portraits at historic John's Pass Village, and the bustling energy of our local waterfront events. Each photograph tells a story of our community's coastal heritage, natural beauty, and the wonderful families who call Madeira Beach home. ”

Equipment & Style
My signature style combines photojournalistic authenticity with artistic refinement. I specialize in capturing genuine moments while ensuring each image is technically polished and visually striking. Using natural light whenever possible, I create bright, airy photographs that feel timeless and elegant. I enjoy vibrant, real color and dynamic images.
Equipment I rely on includes:
- Professional-grade Canon mirrorless cameras and lenses for exceptional image quality
- State-of-the-art lighting equipment for any shooting condition (studio & beyond).
- Advanced post-processing software for professional editing.
My approach emphasizes:
- Clean, crisp images with natural color tones.
- Thoughtful composition that draws attention to genuine emotions.
- A mix of posed and candid shots to tell your complete story.
- Attention to detail in both shooting and editing processes.
