We all start this wild journey one way or another. My way? I was introduced to Ansel Adams’ work in a Photo 1 class in high school. How would the kids say this… his black and whites were giving adventure? What I mean is, they were nice. I had already been hiking the Adirondacks for 15 years at that point, why couldn’t I do it? Why couldn’t I take those photos too? I set out to prove to myself I could. Over the past decade I’ve evolved from landscapes to sports to family portraits to weddings. I continue all of those today. Never forget your roots, right?

The journey to capture so many different mediums of imagery is hardly conventional, but its what I live for. Anything that gets you out of bed at 4am to climb a mountain and catch the sunrise, or conversely keep you out until midnight getting the perfect shot of a sparkler sendoff, its worth doing; its worth doing all day and night. I love my art. I love the hike into a desolate landscape, the inside jokes that get a family laughing, the story behind an engagement session, the subtle moments that make a wedding day absolutely perfect; I get to see all of it. Its just about the most wonderful thing about my photographic career.
