Hilliard Ohio Senior, Family, and Sports Photographer - Serving Columbus and Central Ohio

I’m really glad you stopped by — because I can’t wait to chat about capturing those amazing moments in your life.

I’ve been married to my incredible wife for 31 years, and together we’ve raised two awesome sons, welcomed a wonderful daughter-in-law, and spoiled our goofy Mini Goldendoodle, Cooper. Now that we’re semi-empty nesters, we make it a point to soak up every bit of family time we can — especially during our annual summer escape to Siesta Key, Florida. (It’s a pretty awesome spot for senior photos, too!)

Before diving into photography full-time, I spent nearly 30 years in corporate marketing, mastering the art of digital storytelling. Eventually, I traded the boardroom for the beach, the briefcase for the camera — and I’ve never looked back.

In 2020, I attended a national photography conference just to learn a few new tricks. I entered a photo competition on a whim and ended up being named the Breakout Photographer of the Year. Totally wild — and a reminder that when you follow your passion, great things happen.

These days, I’m all about creating portraits that feel real, relaxed, and timeless. Whether it’s senior pictures that capture big personality, family portraits full of love and laughter, or action-packed sports photography that freezes the moment right before the big play — I pour my heart into every shot.

I’m based in Hilliard, Ohio, and photograph seniors, families, and athletes all around Columbus, Dublin, Worthington, Powell, and Westerville. If you’re searching for a fun, experienced, and creative photographer in Central Ohio, you’ve found your person.

So enough about me — let’s talk about you, your story, and how we can make some magic happen behind the camera.
