I've always loved telling stories with photographs, and I've built my career creating images that help organizations connect with their clientele, inspire enthusiasm for their brands, and showcase their strengths.
We also create high quality portraits, and Dave brings his unique approach to capturing the personalities and the vibe of corporate events, and we work with consumer products clients, including food & beverages.
I’ve been passionate about photography my whole life, beginning as a young boy with an indestructible Kodak Instamatic, and later an Argus C3 I inherited from my grandfather.

By my teens, I had commandeered my dad's Topcon Super D, and I was hooked. I served as photo editor of my high school yearbook and as a contributing photographer to the Michigan State University annual.
I bought my first Nikon (N2020) before traveling in the UK to study film in the 1980s. I recently counted them up the even dozen Nikons I've owned over the years.
In the 1990s I served as a client for a high profile motorsports brand, which included hiring a national advertising agency and photographers to produce full-scale, weeks-long location shoots across North America.

My experience as both a photographer and as a client/producer has given me valuable perspective. I'm probably a better negotiator for it as well.
Today I'm fortunate to shoot for some amazing clients, including architects, designers and builders, as well as clients in financial services, healthcare, events, and hospitality. I learn every day from their commitment to quality.
And I can still say that when I have a camera in my hands, I've never had a bad day.
