Hire me!

Armed with my Nikon Z7 Mirrorless camera

I’ve had an eye for capturing the essence of a scene or special event for decades.  For 15+ years I’ve been honing my skills with the best equipment, continuously improving to bring these memories to life, sharing with friends, family, acquaintances, and customers.  You’ll always find me armed with some of the best Nikon gear, Nikkor lenses, Sekonic light-meters, Godox Flashpoint and Impact LiteTrek 4.0 Studio lights, Pocket-wizards, and more to get the job done.

I’ve been recruited as the pro-photographer in a number of weddings, pre-weddings, engagement ceremonies, fashion/modeling shoots, family/friend photoshoots, senior portraits, commercial/business portraits, real estate/property, sporting events, adventure, and off-road racing action.
I’ve been counted on to produce journalistic style photography for many live events such as Jeep 4-wheeling adventures, camping & hiking, 4-Wheel 2-Heal charity events, German-American Oktoberfest parties, Karnival, and the long-time media contributor for Internet Brands site JK-Forum.  I’ve utilized my professional media-credentials to be the photog for SEMA, Baja 500 and 1000 races, King of the Hammers, Trail Hero, and more.

My run-and-gun photo backpack and gear

The details here show examples of how some pricing
can be set up to make a great fit for investing in the time and expertise needed to get the results you want.  My goal is to keep this simple so you know what to expect, and offer flexibility to arrange just what you need.

Keep in mind, some projects are more suited to plan session-fees for an event to cover professional consultation, planning, organizing, and time spent before during and after to prepare, edit, and develop images.  Other projects might require little or no session-fees, with the expectation that photo packages or prints will be purchased for the event.

I welcome you to consider these or contact me with your specific ideas using the form further below:
