My Bio
I'm a visual artist from Santa Fe, NM. I have a degree from the University of New Mexico in Graphic Design and Photography. I have been taking pictures professionally for 13 years, starting as my ships photographer in the Navy. After the Navy I enrolled in college at UNM and switched over to photojournalism at the student newspaper, the Daily Lobo. I was a staff photographer, as well as, the lead sports photographer for 4 years. While shooting sports I found a passion shooting on-location portraiture with athletes and artists. I have now been making portraits professionally for over 5 years. I have made portraits ranging from editorial, graduation, engagements, head shots, modeling, fashion and children's portraits. Most of my work is done on location with minimal setups using natural light.

Photography is a passion of mine and I do it every single day. I love to capture the true essence of people and hope that, together, we can make beautiful portraits.

What I'm up to

0 min read
I'm really expanding where I go as a photographer and have come to understand that location portraiture is what I love doing. Im working on a few project series and am trying to meet new people, who are new themselves, to photograph. I'm shooting a New Mexico calendar. I had 5 out of 12 models so far. The idea is showing off gorgeous landscape with diverse type of women and men. I see it as a two-part photo, One scene where the landscape is the focus with the model being part of the landscape and a photo and then a second photo where the model is the focus and the landscape plays the background part. and they'd be displayed on the same page
