A little bit about me: in list form

I was born in Nebraska and yes we had indoor plumbing
I’ve lived in Colorado, Iowa, Chicago, Ohio, Cape Cod, Manhattan, & Queens
I am both a city boy and a nature boy
I recently married the love of my life
We got married in a barn…no really!
If I’m on the computer I probably have my dog, Ruby, in my lap
I have a strong theatre design background and love all things visual
I have a rusty old bike from 1976 and riding it makes me happy

That’s me in 8 lines or less.  Photography has been a great way for me to meet some truly amazing people. I have a lot of fun with what I do and with the people I meet. Everyone has a different story to tell which makes every day an adventure.

It's my goal to make my clients feel as comfortable as possible and to make their time, be it a wedding day, headshots, or a theatrical event, as stress free as I can...and capture beautiful pictures along the way.

I carry both equipment and liability insurance and am a proud member of Professional Photographers of America and Pictage.

Thanksgiving in Nebraska

I had the chance to fly home to Nebraska for thanksgiving. Lots of food, football, and time spent with my favorite 2 1/2 year old nephew, Baylen. There also happened to be a fair amount of time devoted to singing and playing “wheels on the bus”. Thank goodness we all buckled our imaginary seat belts or we might have had rug burns!

The sirens were a little two loud for some of us at the Christmas parade.

Go Nebraska Cornhuskers!



Opening of Macy’s Windows

Well, it’s officially the Christmas season…the Macy’s Christmas windows are open! Our good friend Eric Hart was one of the carpenters who built those glittery Christmas windows and invited us to share in the opening festivities. It was a cold night but we were packed in with so many people we didn’t notice.




There’s an empire state building coming out of my head!

Central Park at Night

I was waiting for Ashley to get off work last night and thought I would take my tripod to central park and get some night shots. When shooting in Central Park after dark, I was comforted by the fact that my tripod could be used as a weapon. That and I could snap a picture of my attacker! Yes, don’t mess with me, I’m a photographer!



Halloween Party!

Had to share some highlights from the Halloween party we went to last night. When people found out I brought my camera, I suddenly became the official photographer for the evening. How was I to argue? Hope your Halloween was a spooky one!

And who said Mac and PC can’t be friends?









Grand Central

A couple of weeks ago I had some time to kill so I grabbed my camera and tripod and headed to Grand Central Station. Had fun with long exposures until the security guard told me I was free to snap pictures but I couldn’t use the tripod. I was worried he was going to accuse me of being a terrorist or something.

I love this train station. It’s easy to take good architecture for granted unless you’ve spent any time in the basement that is Penn Station.

Thanks for all your comments! They are greatly appreciated!





Tribute in Light Memorial

Ashley and I walked across the Brooklyn Bridge to get this shot of the memorial the other night. Most shots show the lights going off into infinity, but I think there’s something beautiful about the way the lights are hitting the clouds in this shot. It’s a beautiful memorial and is quite breathtaking in it’s simplicity.

Our new fish!

Meet Peter McBeth, the Betta fish! We are taking small steps in regards to having living things in our apartment. We haven’t had any plant deaths for a while so we have progressed to fish! Thought I would give you something to look at while I work on proofing some new headshots. Had a busy weekend so stay tuned!

Trip to Florida

Ashley and I visited her family in Florida. We had a great time seeing the sights and it was a great excuse for some beach shots!

Ashley took this one! It’s super Ryan (with a lighthouse coming out of my head!)
