About Me

     I'm a father of two , Married to a native Mainer. I love my wife  Catherine, and kids( Emma & Aidan) and thank them for being supportive in all my interests. I am a native New Yorker born and raised in upstate New York in a little town called Sherburne, It was there in high school that I developed a love for photography. There is something cool about being able to freeze a point of time and make it last forever. Whether it be a landscape, animals or my particular favorite people, capturing the right moment gives you a great feeling.

 

      I have seen a lot of good the comes from portrait photography. I like to instill a sense of self confidence with my clients. None of the people  I have taken pictures of are professional models, Yet,  when you give your subject encouragement, and  help... you can make them feel confident ,beautiful, and able to tackle the world. That is another plus that I get from my portrait work, the ability to make people feel good about themselves. I have taken shots of people coming off a bad divorce, they weren't too sure about posing, they did a session, saw the the shots and thanked me for giving them a sense of self worth again.... confidence to get back out here.....that is an awesome feeling.

     Other clients have a God given ability to pose and be one with the camera, and never have a bad picture (unless its me screwing it up, hehe )  Most of the people in my portfolio are in between. I like to think that part of being a good photographer is being to capture each individual....I enjoy talking and getting to know the person I'm shooting. It makes me a better photographer. They say "A PICTURE IS WORTH 1000 WORDS". If that's the case I'd love the chance to tell your story...in pictures.
