Bring your vision
For yourself. For a concept. For a product.
Studio and location photography on Bainbridge Island. I build the light, make the image, and finish it by hand. Evenings and weekends by appointment.
For yourself
A portrait is not a record of how you look. It is a decision about how you want to be seen, and then the light, the setting and the finishing that get you there. Below is one man, photographed in one session, in three different worlds.
Portraits · Headshots · Photo restoration
For a concept
A themed shoot. A campaign. A cover. An idea you have been carrying around and cannot quite explain yet — half-formed is fine, we can start with that. Sets, styling, shaped light and compositing are how it gets built.
Talk an idea through · Editing levels
For a product
Product, food and drink, lit to hold up at any size — on a billboard or a thumbnail. Backgrounds built to match your brand, and files delivered in the shapes you actually need.

Certified Professional Photographer
While my work should speak for itself, this certification shows I take my art seriously.
The CPP certification comes from the Professional Photographers of America. It is earned not only by passing a written examination on the technical craft — light, color, exposure — but by proving that capability in practice: photographs submitted against a defined standard. It has to be renewed; it is not held for life.

The studio is in downtown Bainbridge Island, less than a mile from the ferry. Evenings and weekends by appointment, and I typically reply within one working day.
