Portraits
I have been making memorable portraits for more than 20 years. Trust me and my team to walk you through the process and explain how I create portraits that you will love and teach you how to pose for future photo shoots, snapshots, and selfies. From couples and family photos to headshots for your business my portraits, both posed and journalistic styled always stand out.
Weddings
I love photographing weddings! My wedding photography partner Sarah Colligan and I do wedding photography throughout the Greater Pittsburgh area, Western Pennsylvania, Northern and Eastern West Virginia, and Eastern Ohio as well as destination wedding services. Visit weddings.WDOphoto.com.
Events
I photograph events of all types. Serving the Greater Pittsburgh area, Western Pennsylvania, Northern and Eastern West Virginia, Eastern Ohio. I provide destination services for those outside of the local area. Call me to photograph your corporate, non-profits, educational, or private family events.
Commercial
As an editorial focused photojournalist I perfected capturing people in memorable and moving ways. Hire me to provide commercial photography for your business that tells your story. I am a story-teller and educator. Let me use my knowledge to share what's important for you and your brand.
Nature
I love nature photography. I'm out in nature whenever possible. I lead nature walks for all ages and skill levels that include bird photography, large mammal, macro photography, landscape photography, and other topics. If you want to learn how to photography anything from birds, large game like deer and elk, to flowers, insects, or large landscapes join me every Sat. on my nature walks.

Fine Art
I've been called to create fine art since I was a teenager. In college I was discouraged. As a photographer, I was told, I was a craftsman. After many years I realized I could be both. I've explored difficult concepts, my own traumas and questions about life, and more. I'm still putting my fine art gallery together on the website but you can see some of my work at my Zenfolio account.

I love to share my knowledge so I host both virtual and in-person photography classes on my own and with a variety of partners including Phipps Conservatory and Pittsburgh Botanical Garden. Classes range from intro to photography to advanced and specialized classes in macro, wildlife, portraiture, lighting, editing, and more. If you want to learn photography or add to your skills now is the perfect time.
