It can be expensive hiring a photographer, like a portrait photographer, and one thing I am not is a "traditional" or specialist photographer. I will shoot just about anything just about anywhere and am willing to work with you to get the photos you want. Here are some of the things I photograph:

Lifestyle, Standard, Senior & Artistic Portraits - Whatever your needs, I will do whatever I can to record your memories.
Digital Information Discs - A CD with photo and important information in case the worst should happen and a loved one should go missing. Available through local groups and organizations or as an add-on to any portrait session.
Headshots/Model Portfolio - Standard headshots, close-ups, 3/4 and full. Just tell me what you need and I'll help you out.
Stock/Product Photography - You've already have the product, now you need a photographer to take the photo. Here I am.
Pet Photography - If your pet is part of the family, why not get his or her shot taken.
Auction Photos - Selling something on ebay? Quality photos of your items can increase the final price by as much as 50% or more.
Informal Events - Hey, I'm an informal kind of guy - and my suit doesn't fit so well anymore. Great for documenting membership drives, informal gatherings, fundraisers, picnics, family reunions, etc. I'll even do informal wedding receptions where no other photographer is present.
Family Reunions - You've got the family together, why not get portraits of individuals, their families, plus some shots of the events themselves. A fantastic way to remember the reunion of all your relatives from all over. It starts with standard portraits of each individual family member and a family portrait of each family. Then portraits based on groupings such as generational (grandmother, mother, daughter, grandchild) all together.

Remember, all images are delivered in digital format and the cost of having the images printed is up to you - which can actually save you a lot of money in printing costs since you print only the photos and the quantities you want and don't have to pay for a "package".

All services are "on location" at a place of your choosing. All photos are delivered in digital format on CD.

Photography Fees (per session):

I have a regular job that pays decently. Because of that I reinvinted my "business model". I decided I wouldn't charge a lot to take photos. Instead, I would charge enough to cover expenses, that's all. If the person wanted to add in a gratuity (IE: a tip), that's fine. A little extra money never hurt no one. But I want to give people photos they want - because I enjoy the process. And that's why I don't shoot just one style, but shoot anything that comes along. I can shoot portraits or I can shoot for a modeling portfolio. I can shoot children or adults or pets. I can shoot weddings. I can shoot for whatever reason you want. I don't care if it is for your wall, your dating profile, if you want something to submit to magazine or website, or if you have dreams and hopes of becoming a model and need somewhere to start. What you do with the photos is up to you.

To me, it about the photography and the meeting of people and doing what I can to make the world just a little brighter place.

For services other than those listed below, I offer a simple fee to cover expenses (about $5-10 depending on how far I need to travel). Gratuities (ie: tips) will not be refused, however.

Weddings: $300 for coverage from about 1 hour before the wedding through the important events at the reception (cake cutting, first dance, etc).

Family Reunion Package: $5 per person. One DVD with all images.

Additional CDs/DVDs - $10 each.

Travel (distances will be determined by MSN's door to door directions using the shortest route option):

20 Miles or Less: No Charge

More than 20 Miles: $.50 per mile from my starting location.

Payment Types Accepted:

I accept cash or credit cards accepted through PayPal.
