The Passion for Photography

I haven’t had a photo shoot that I didn’t enjoy. All types of photography are enjoyable to me.

Baby Portraits:
Having the privilege to take professional baby portraits is so rewarding. When the parents come back for the proofing session and when I see the emotion on their faces just makes my heart melt. I know that they will enjoy these images forever.

Senior Portraits:
Being able to interact with a High School Senior and see them unfold as the shoot goes on. Being able to capture their style and quickly become comfortable in front of the camera.

Sports Photography:
The excitement of being on the sidelines and in the action is amazing. Capturing the emotion of an athlete is a wonderful experience.

Family Portraits:
Having family portraits taken is a great way to document you life. I enjoy working with families and add individualism to each portrait.

Event Photography:
Event photography can mean a couple things. I enjoy photographing individual and team photos for sports teams. Also included with event photography would be a band wanting photos while playing a gig or even a dance recital.

On Location

On location photo sessions are a great way to get a one of a kind unique photo experience. Shooting downtown Rockford or Rockton can give you a great urban feel to your photos. Popular locations to shoot are at your favorite park, railroad tracks or a farm setting.
