Welcome,
I am a photographer based in Southwestern Pennsylvania.
My background is that of an artist, having been trained and holding a degree as a studio artist. My commissions include portraiture and photography in both comercial and private collections. I have received a "Best of Show" award for my work in a regional show and museum competition with institutional acquisitions in art and photography. Spending many years as an artist and teacher, photography has served as both a tool and creative outlet. Those experiences have brought me to the place where I have used the camera to paint and frame those special moments of our lives that we treasure which become more valuable with the passage of time. I prefer location sessions and natural light when possible but will shoot in my studio if applicable. I have done a wide variety of events for both large and small groups. I would be honored to photograph your treasured moments and save them as keepsakes of your special occasions. 

I would encourage you to type "Portfolio" in the search box to see other types work that I can do. There you will find posters, fine art, graphic design, apparel-including screen printed, embroidered and transfers. I have created both video and slide show presentations for both educational and commercial projects. Also, I have painted wall murals on both interior and exterior walls and have received state and private grant money to do so. I have work in both public and private collections. I have the need to constantly create and my home base is in Murrysville, PA, in a house I designed and built myself. My desire is to provide my creative services to you as a photographer or by any of the creative avenues I can provide for you. If you are interested I am only a text or phone call away.
