My Portfolio

My portfolio showcases the heart and soul of Safety Harbor - from elegant waterfront ceremonies at Philippe Park to sun-kissed family portraits along the historic pier, and the vibrant energy of our downtown gatherings. Each photograph tells a story of Safety Harbor's charm, from peaceful marina views to the iconic Safety Harbor Resort & Spa, capturing the wonderful families who call this coastal community home. Through my lens, Safety Harbor's unique waterfront character shines in every image.

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.
