About the Artist

Photography isn't about a camera. It isn't about posing. It isn't about your perfect "picture smile" (I know we all have them, you should see mine!!). Photography is about appreciating the lives we have and the people we love. Sometimes it's about celebrating a quiet monumental moment (rubbing your new baby's toes for the 100th time), a sacred ceremonial moment (exchanging your wedding vows), sometimes it's about a loud blasting gaudy delightful moment (remember your last year of high school!?), and sometimes it's about sharing your attachment to each other with the rest of the world (have you ever had a family portrait you all enjoyed?). I've enjoyed spending time with people my whole life, I've always been so curious about others, an important part of my job is to get to know you...

In the last year I've started booking appointments for longer times so I can enjoy the people that trust me with creating their portraits. The types of work I pursue is reflected by this - the images I create for you come from the years of experience, education, and experimentation I've had the joy to become familiar with. I'm always seeking new ideas and new methods, always looking to amplify and nurture my creative flair. What's in my heart comes out in my work, I'm always striving to let that out and create something a bit different for you.

I'm so thankful for all the support and encouragement my clients have given me from the beginning in 2000, every year I feel stronger about stepping out of the mold and going in different directions - truly I thank you for that freedom and your love of art which allows me to do what I do and call it "a job!"

Associate Photographer, Jen

Jen Stubblefield has been a close friend of mine for more than ten years. She started on at my stduio in 2001 and has been such a great working partner! She's been in the industry longer than I have, and with some gentle pushing she started joining me in shoots. Her background allowed her to take to it so naturally, and we share much of the same taste. She began shooting weddings with me the summer of 2005 and has worked into the studio as well, bringing her own unique eye and perspective. I hope you'll appreciate her attention to detail and constant strive for creativeness as much as I do...
