About Me
Photography has opened up so many amazing opportunities for me to travel the world and meet the most amazing people. I've photographed Fortune 500 Executives, Billionaires (Damon John), hundreds of weddings (with all 5 star reviews), some of the best bands in the world and so many more. I have so many amazing stories!
I have been using digital cameras since 2001 and have been a full-time photographer since 2011.
Specializing in Weddings, Events, Headshots, Portraits, Commercial, Real Estate and more.
I have trained extensively with Jerry Ghionis (considered by many to be the best wedding photographer in the World). Emulating his mix of photo-journalistic images, evoking emotion in your subject and helping brides & grooms look amazing with posing and creative lighting sets my work apart as I continue to create my own style. I am always learning new things and striving to be the best I can be for my clients.
Weddings
I choose to do a limited number of weddings each year so I can deliver the best service possible. Verses photographers that shoot 100+ a year and take 6 months to a year to deliver your images! This also allows me to give my clients more attention and to deliver their photos quickly. I also have a large portrait studio located in West Fresno.
I would love to meet with you to customize the perfect collection for your photographic needs.
I also offer collections with a 2nd Photographer as well as video
My Mission
My mission is to offer clients the best wedding, portrait, event, commercial photography, available in the Central Valley, at a price you can afford and to create artwork and lasting memories for my clients that will be cherished for generations to come. What makes me different is that every image I create is thought out and edited to capture the beauty of the most important moments in life. I don't just take "snap shots" and burn them on a disk. I pay attention to every detail and create art for you, that will last a lifetime.
All of my finished images are retouched. Digital photos are nothing more than pixels and I will edit them to make you look your best, without making you look fake. No more dark rings under your eyes, skin blemishes or distracting elements in your personal or family photos. And I don't just blur out your skin like snapchat filters, I use high end retouching techniques. You will also notice beautiful blue skies in many of my images. Not the airy, fairy, white ones many are producing these days. This is a fad that will be very dated in a few years.
Have you ever had a photographer make you look into the sun while you stood there squinting and wondering what to do with your hands? Guess what? I will never make you look into the sun, and I consider it my job to help you pose! You know how they say the camera adds 10 pounds? What you may not know is that correct posing can take at least 20 pounds off! Don't worry, I got your back. All of my collections include a custom made album, and photos on USB. (Samples Here)
