A photographer based in Upperville Virginia.

A dad of three very active kids, my serious entry into photographer stemmed from a bad case of ADD and a being bored sitting in the stands watching my children participate in sports. I picked up photography as a way to keep myself entertained and to give me a “job”. I became the team photographer for many a lacrosse team and would take tens of thousands of pictures at horse shows and give them my friends.

As time went on a developed my own eye for the beauty of nature — sunsets, light, reflections on water, and the creature I would find on my walks.

I am a Canon enthusiast, still use Adobe’s Bridge and Photoshop, and also love my iPhone to take a photo when something worthy pops up.

All of my pieces are for sale and I would love to work with you to shoot your own place when possible.
