Published Work
“Old World Charm, Up North” 24/SEVEN Magazine, March 2026
A multi-page feature on Blackbirch Cabin, a boutique A-frame retreat in Northern Michigan. I photographed the exteriors, interiors, and aerials: the full visual story of a place built to slow you down.

Behind the camera
I’ve sat on your side of the table.
My career has been spent inside ad agencies, mostly on automotive, building campaigns and art-directing the shoots behind them. I know what a brief is really asking for, what a producer needs on set, and where the images have to work after the shoot.
Photography found me on the trail in 2002. I still shoot the way I learned there: composed like a layout, lit like a film still, edited to feel like the moment did.

How it works
From inquiry to gallery, planned around where the images will live.
01 · Within 2 business days
Inquiry
Tell me the location, rough timing, and where the images need to run. I reply with a plan and a price.
02 · Before the shoot
Shot list and light plan
A shot list built around every placement: listing, website, PDP, press, social. Then a light plan for each space or setup.
03 · On the day
Shoot
Scheduled around the best light. Interiors at dusk, exteriors at last light, people when the day is kind to faces.
04 · 7 to 10 days
Curated gallery
Fully edited in one consistent look, sized and cropped for each platform on the shot list.
