Born and raised in Western New York, I have studied photography for more than 30 years. My training began with 35mm film photography, from capturing images in the field to developing film and making prints in the darkroom.

My first passion was black-and-white landscape photography, and I drew early inspiration from Astrid Kirchherr, Ansel Adams, and Elliott Erwitt. Their work helped shape my appreciation for composition, light, and storytelling through imagery.

Today, I blend modern photographic techniques with a timeless aesthetic, creating images that honor the traditions of classic photography while embracing contemporary tools. I believe there is a unique magic in black-and-white photography—the ability to strip away distractions and reveal the emotion, character, and essence of a moment.

I would love to help your special moments stand the test of time. Not only will you have the memories, but you'll also have a beautiful keepsake to cherish for years to come—whether it's your child's senior year, a family milestone, or the special day you say "I do."

No moment is too brief to be captured and preserved. Every smile, every laugh, and every milestone deserves to be remembered.
