Self Portraits

A Beautiful Wedding, Seen Through The Eyes of A Guest.

Shooting 20+ weddings a season can really jade a person from enjoying themselves at a wedding. Invited as a guest to my dear friend of 20 years Mark Keeler's wedding; I allowed for the tears to swell up in my eyes, for my heart to be so overfilled with joy that I could shout, to dance the night away, to catch the bouquet... Here are a few favorite I shot, as truly a guest of my friends wedding.

Visit to my hometown, Apple Valley Minnesota

Every time I go back home to visit my friends and family I see my hometown in a new light. I seem to be drawn to ordinary things; a piece of furniture, a picture frame, the farm land, my mailbox. Things I grew up with and looked at everyday but never truly saw. These are the images I created by just seeing, instinctively seeing.

Anna Zoe

I had the pleasure of photographing the beautiful and talented singer/song writer Anna Zoe. As an old time friend it was easy to capture her charming, humble beauty. Her approach to life is refreshing, she has dedicated her career to bringing awareness to the world through her music.

Stop Child Trafficking Now Event

Stop Child Trafficking Now has launched a national campaign to raise money for retired elite military operatives targeting the demand side of trafficking. These Special Operative Teams gather information on child predators both in the U.S. and abroad, information that will be used to convict child sex buyers. These operatives use the skills developed in the War on Terror in this war to bring down predators. Professional law enforcement have vetted this strategy and are eager to work with these operative teams once funding is secured. On September 27th New York City held a 5k walk to raise money for awareness. I had the opportunity to photograph these history makers.

Mobile Captures

As a photographer I'm always looking for the shot, and I don't always truck along my camera. Here are a few raw snaps taken with Verizon's finest cellphone.

Days from InStyle

While working in the Photo Department assisting the Director of Photography at InStyle Magazine I had the fantastic opportunity to work hands on with the inner makings of the magazine. I photographed Meet & Greets with numerous actors and actresses. In these photos we met with Leighton Meester from the CW's Gossip Girl...a guilty pleasure of mine. She was beautiful, kind, humble, mature beyond her age and fun spirited. She even joined in on a time of your life photo!

I'm a true romantic at heart. I spend my summers documenting the most important day in many people's lives. It's an honor to be able to get the front row seat at such an important event.
