Elise- High School Senior Portraits Around Lakewood
I focus on weddings around the Cleveland area almost exclusively. However, I’ve spread out a little lately to take on some high school senior portraits for students around Lakewood and Rocky River.

So I was happy to take on another senior portrait session when Elise and her mother, Mary, contacted me. Step inside for a look at how a great session turns out.
Dillard Family Lifestyle Portraits
“Have you ever heard of Jose Villa” asked Cyndi.

They are planning the world’s largest fencing event and wanted to know if I would like to be a part of the action. My little brother is a fencer, so I jumped at the opportunity. I just finished editing some photographs and have a little to share.
Starting a New Personal Project
I am starting a new personal project. In fact it is one I have been thinking about for a long time, but never took any steps forward. Given my recent schedule that should be of no surprise. I am starting today, and I need your help!
Here is the concept: produce a short series of portraits featuring the families of active-duty military members.
Brooke in the Valley
In the heart of the summer, I found a great new shooting location. Brooke and I headed down to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park to do some personal portraits. While I focus on wedding photography, I still do a lot of personal portraiture. These were shot on a valley wall between two highways that cross [...]
