About
My passion is photography.

I take photos because I'm driven to create.

I really like making normal people look their best, so you probably won't see any gorgeous models in my portfolio. Just regular people who look like gorgeous models. For many people, my images will be a defining point in their self-image. I take that seriously, and I treat them with a respect befitting the beauty I see in all people.

**Beauty * Respect * Love * Appreciation**

That's what I strive to create and the spirit with which I approach those for whom I'm privledged to make portraits.

That's not just something flowery I say to make people feel good. It's real and it's also our mission statement. I will add that some of it came from a wise photographer I found somewhere on the 'net but now can't credit. I read his words every day to remind me where I'm trying to go and what I'm trying to accomplish in my work.

I consider my style casual and photojournalistic.  I want to capture the special moments of the day, the tiny details of what made it spectactular, not just a documentation of who was there.

Do visit Cease Fire Studios' official photography blog for all of our latest sessions. I'll share some of my favorites from recent shoots.
