I’ve been making photographs for four decades. For me, it began as is did for so many others—the magic of creating a print in the dim red light of a darkroom. While the technology continually changes and styles evolve, the thrill of making your photographic vision into reality remains.

I’ve photographed nearly every genre—news, documentary, real estate & architecture, weddings, portraits, boudoir, glamour, pets, headshots & branding, and fine art. I hold the Certified Professional Photographer degree from Professional Photographers of America and have won local, national, and international awards for my work.

I also have been a passionate teacher for 20 years. I hold an MFA in Creative Writing and taught English, composition, and creative writing at the college level. I’ve also taught ESL in Ukraine and photography workshops in Florida and Wisconsin, and I am an instructor at the Camera Company in Madison.
