Jacksonville Florida Wedding Photojournalist and Lifestyle Photographer bio picture

Welcome

Thanks for checking out my site!  I'm a lifestyle photographer living in Jacksonville Florida. I've been taking pictures ever since my parents got me an all manual 35mm camera when I was 12.  That camera served me well as the Staff Photographer for my Jr. High and High School Yearbooks.  I continued learning all I could about photography through my adult years.

What fascinates me about photographs more than almost any other medium, is a photograph's ability to immediately take you back to the very moment the image was made.  There are very few things as satisfying as somone looking at a picture that I took and instantly laughing as they remember the moment.  That's what fuels my approach to photography.  I document memories.
