About Me

I am an aviation, commercial and portrait photographer based in Saint Charles, MO. Taking photographs has been important to me since picking up my first camera at a young age. Through my education I have developed my skills and approach to photography.

Capturing aircraft is where I truly fell in love with the art of photography. My aviation photography is primarily centered around both vintage and modern military aircraft, which allows me to appreciate the rich history and advanced technology of aviation. I especially enjoy the unique challenges and excitement of photographing vintage aircraft as well as dynamic formation flights.

I am also passionate about automotive photography, as it allows me to capture not only the essence and design of both classic and modern vehicles, but also the unique stories and emotions that these remarkable machines evoke. Each photograph becomes a testament to the artistry and engineering achievements that define the automotive world.

My commercial photography services span various sectors, including corporate events, product photography, and promotional material for businesses. I aim to bring a professional yet creative touch to every project, ensuring that each client's vision is brought to life through striking visuals.

I also genuinely enjoy capturing a person's unique character and essence through the art of portraiture. My portrait photography primarily centers around showcasing local artists and entrepreneurs, highlighting their individuality and the stories behind their creative journeys.

When Iā€™m not behind the camera, I can often be found at various local coffee houses, savoring a cup of freshly brewed coffee, while working on personal projects that inspire my creativity, and happily spending quality time with friends and family. Additionally, I am actively involved with the Missouri Wing of the Commemorative Air Force, where I have the opportunity to participate in meaningful events and connect with aviation enthusiasts.

Thank you very much for taking the time to admire my photography. If you feel inspired and are interested in collaborating or working together on a project, please do not hesitate to reach out and contact me. I would love to discuss any ideas you may have.

 

My studio is conveniently located in the heart of the historic district of Saint Charles. It is situated just a block away from the picturesque riverfront, providing a charming and inviting atmosphere that greatly enhances the overall experience for all visitors.

The historic street and area provide a rich backdrop for automotive photography. Cobblestone paths and vintage architecture enhance your images, while ornate facades and greenery complement vehicle lines. The play of light and shadow adds depth and dimension. This locale is ideal for both classic and modern aesthetics.

For aviation clients, my photography studio is conveniently situated in a central location, nestled in-between two regional airports: Creve Coeur Airport (1HO) and St. Charles County Smartt Airport (SET). This ideal positioning allows for easy access and collaboration with clients in the aviation industry.
