Indiana has a particular kind of portrait photographer. Golden hour, open fields, soft focus — beautiful work, and a lot of people do it well. I'm not that photographer.

A session with me starts with a conversation about what you're actually after — what the photos are for, what you want them to say, what kind of person you want to look like in them. Then we find a location that fits, and we work from there.

The Midwest has good light and nature. It also has concrete, brick, and industrial space that nobody thinks to photograph in. I like both.

I work with people building a brand or professional presence — social media, LinkedIn, personal sites — families or couples who want portraits that feel like them rather than like a template, and people who just want to see what a proper portrait session produces when there's no agenda.

If you're at Purdue — student, faculty, researcher, or staff — I've made a lot of portraits for people who need something better than a faculty page headshot.

Outside the university: Lafayette and West Lafayette have families, small businesses, and individuals who want portraits made with some care. That's the same work, same approach, same result.

Let's talk about what you're thinking — what the photos are for, what you want them to do, what you're unsure about. We'll figure out the rest from there.
