My photographer background began over in the redwood rainforest, where a certain water reflection photo kindled a passion for portraits. I was also inspired by three photographers. One was our friend's daughter, with a knack for spotting interesting details. Second was Gerald, a famous old growth climber who changed course to publishing redwood books. And Frank, who saw promise in my work, and introduced me to lighting and ways to use it.

As for my own photography of people like yourself, photo portait sessions are relaxed and sometimes entertaining. Maybe it shows in a few photo samples. Most of my working years have been outside, so outdoor sessions are among my favorites. I feel at home outside but indoor space is available if needed. I have ample gear for portraits, weddings and some commercial work, using both natural and enhanced lighting. I am always on time or early. When people need my photography service out of town, sometimes I arrive a day early. I do not provide passport photos, but actor, model and corporate headshots are right up my alley.

Whether you need a Medford wedding photographer or Ashland high school senior photgrapher, I will emphasize my reliability. Feel free to call for any questions.

For anyone interested in a few personal aspects, I spent most of my years living in northern Oregon, but moved to southern Oregon with my wife Jan. We've been married over 20 years and have four grown children. Our entire family enjoys dogs, and we also appreciate parrots and other animals.
