Beautiful sunset (it was colder than it looks) -
Some of the best photography conditions aren't the most enjoyable for hiking. Luckily, I didn't get soaked this time! -
Spring blooms signal the end of winter -
Studio days are some of my favorite.

Frequently asked questions
Are your black and white images available in color?
Often times, yes, black and white images can be in color. Also, I'm happy to convert color images to black and white, too.
Do you offer international shipping?
Yes I do, for most of my products. Please contact me for a quote.
Custom and personalized orders
I am happy to customize your order whenever possible. Some examples are custom sizes, personalizing art with a name or quote, or even custom photo sets.
Do you offer framing services?
I do not currently offer framing, however, I make every attempt to offer my prints in standard sizes, allowing you to purchase off the shelf frames online or from your local craft or frame store.
Wholesale availability
Yes, please contact me if you would like to discuss wholesale.
Do you offer sizes other than those listed?
Yes! My listings contain only a small offering of the sizes I have available. Please contact me to discuss your specific needs.
Do you offer digital downloads?
I realize that sometimes there is a need to purchase a quick gift, so I currently offer a limited selection of personalized sports prints as digital downloads. However, the majority of my work is only available as a physical item. Having complete control of the entire fulfillment process allows me to ensure that my work is presented as intended in regard to color and overall quality.
Where do your pictures come from?
My camera! All photographic images I offer are original works, taking and edited by me!
What is the difference between Black and White and Sepia?
Black and White (monochrome) images are just as the sound - Deep blacks, bright whites and all grays in-between. Sepia is a monochrome image that has been toned with a brownish tint. This tinting results in a warmer feeling compared to the starker contrast of black and white photographs. Sepia toned photographs tend to produce a vintage look, while black and white photographs tends to have a more modern feel to them.
Not sure which to choose? Get in touch and I'll be happy to provide a side by side comparison of the image you're interested in!
