What Fascinates me

I still remember my first headshot session 20 years ago. I was between two rows of bleachers in a cold ice rink. And I loved every minute of it.  I was hooked capturing the nuances of expression and how a passing thought could change the vibe of the photo. I love photographing the human face and I still look forward to the moment someone forgets about the camera and starts feeling like themselves. Most people arrive a little nervous, and that’s normal. My studio in Groton, MA is quiet and unhurried. We stop to review the photos so you will quickly become engaged in the process. 

I keep it REAL! I use the same basic tools of the trade that have made great portraits for generations. Studying light is an obsession of mine. AI doesn’t generate or invent anything in my shooting process, from the capture through the final print. What you see is real.

Interesting Facts about Me

I cycled from Missoula, Montana to Anchorage, Alaska over the Summer of 1990. I would live any one of those days over again, even the hardest.  

I have been the photographer for the Scott Hamilton Cares foundation annual show in Nashville for ten years and I occasionally work with them on other projects.   

I photographed the Catholics of Northern Iraq as they were rebuilding after the war with ISIS. 

I’m a stage 4 cancer survivor. I believe that TIME is a gift. I enjoy the connections I make with the people I photograph. I greatly value the one-on-one connection and through my photography, I have met some of my closest friends.
