This wedding took place at The Ritz-Carlton in Naples. Melissa & Gerry were unique in that they had a private ceremony at a local church and then went straight to the beach and had a second ceremony open to all their friends and extended family. This couple and their families were so wonderful to photograph [...]

Oh, the anticipation that goes along with senior year of high school. The feelings of excitement and uncertainty combined. Knowing that part of the journey coming to an end with the next leg of the journey just beginning. I think back to my senior year of high school with great nostalgia. It was in high school that [...]

Someone asked me the other day what my favorite age group was to photograph. Although I adore (most) of my brides and love the newborns, my favorite subject’s to photograph are my own children. Two girls. Abigail & Sophie; ages 3 & 5. It’s funny because I have beautiful photos of my girls photographed [...]

I am in the process of updating my website. This can be a very daunting task for any company, but especially for photographers and other artists who have years and years of art they want to display. I have images from almost every shoot that I love, but I can’t show everything. How do I choose one image [...]

I photographed this wedding last night at the Windstar Country Club. Before the ceremony, Tina was photographed in and around the Bayfront area in Naples. As a photographer who shoots at the same venues from time to time, it can sometimes be hard keeping your “eye” and images fresh. Using ambient light helps keep me on my [...]

It’s been a week since the last post. I’ve been traveling up in North Carolina, mostly for pleasure, but I also did a little work on the road. Posted are a few photos of my girlfriend’s daughter, Finley, who I photographed while away. I am typically accustomed to photographing in the studio with controlled light [...]
