Thanks for visiting my site. I'm a freelance photographer based in the Twin Cities (Minnesota) area. My photographic passion is around portraits (traditional, lifestyle, fashion, glamour), events and travel.
I work out of a great warehouse studio in North Minneapolis as well as on location. I do have standard rates for portrait shoots, but find that I like to custom fit a package depending on your needs and constraints. Please contact me do discuss your ideas and I will provde a quote.
I provide all of my clients with a private (access controlled) online gallery to review proofs, and select a pre-determined number for editing and printing.
This blog will feature my most recent work, both professional and just for fun. Please check out my portfolio by clicking on the link in the menu above.
To contact me, just follow either the email or Twitter links above. I would be happy to talk to you about your concept/project.

I absolutely love animals and I’m definitely not shy with my love for dogs. Throughout my last

seating area when I saw her move her lips.

Over the last few weeks I’ve been able to work with a couple great models in the studio. The objectives for the portrait shoot with Robert started out as simple headshots and portraits. After we warmed up with a few images at the infinity wall, we did some portrait shots with a different setting and...
After I received my new 24 – 70mm f/2.8 lens, I couldn’t wait to get into the studio and try it out on a few portraits. I called my friends Mark and Sarah and asked them to model for me. The biggest thing I learned from this shoot is this importance of getting your subjects...
This time I decided to try portrait photography in the studio. I’m a member of the MPLS Photo Center so I booked a two hour session and brought my volunteer model along.
I was a bit nervous at first with some of the equipment. I had never worked with lighting of any kind, but I...
On my way home from work tonight I saw this overturned truck who apparently didn’t quite make the turn successfully onto the freeway onramp. By the time I had arrived with my camera, the authorities had contained the spill and were about to bring the truck back upright .
I think I got a couple decent...
I’ve been interested in trying out portrait photography for a little while now. Partly because I needed a decent profile/bio shot and I figured I could try it myself (you can see it by clicking the about me link above), and also because I want to take some decent portraits of my family.
I don’t own any lighting...
