Most of the work you see on this site was shot in a photojournalistic style, with minimal interaction between the photographer and subject. This is the most effective method I've found to capture meaningful images -- those that go deeper than simply showing what the subject looked like. I try to capture the overall emotion of the day. Above all, I strive to produce images that you would be proud to display in your home and that evoke pleasant memories each time you look at them. I often compose with the idea that the end result will be a black and white image. There's something special about black and white that makes images a bit more timeless, and for some reason the images seem to carry more meaning.
My goal is complimentary photos without the discomfort many associate with portrait sessions. I take as much time as is required but no more, and work hard to make the process as painless as possible. I do not interfere with the flow of events, and I don't pose my subjects any more than necessary. I never enjoyed being treated like a mannequin, and I doubt my clients do either.
