A Boudoir and Portrait photographer based out of Cincinnati, Ohio who loves to travel!
WHO AM I??
I can be best described as a world traveling explorer with the occasional strange idea and a passion for music and creativity. I currently split my time between Cincinnati, Ohio and Charlottesville, Virginia. I have previously lived in Europe, the Middle East and Central America. I am a former Scientist, Restaurant Manager, US Army Officer and a Geo-Political/Terrorism Analyst for the US Dept of Defense. I am married to an amazing woman who is also the smartest woman I know. I have two sons and two Golden Doodles. Don’t ask who is my favorite (the doodles). I am also blessed with having 4 lovely sisters and 11 nieces and nephews plus their kids!! Most people would say I have a full life, yet I can frequently be found sitting in a cafe plotting my next adventure.
I started doing photography a couple of years ago because I wanted to take better photos when I travel. I soon discovered that in addition to getting better travel photos, what I enjoyed the most was capturing those little special moments in people. Boudoir photography was a natural progression for me as I am a social creature and love creating amazing things with others. I have always got along well with the fairer sex (4 sisters will do that to you) and I absolutely LOVE seeing the look on a woman’s face when they see through the art of photography how beautiful, fierce and amazing they truly are!
I am constantly growing as a photographer, and I look forward to creating some magic with you!!
