History

Established in 1984.

Born and raised in Buffalo, NY, I started my photography career chasing down breaking news and selling photos to local papers and national magazines. I was a freelance photographer for the Associate Press Wire Service and as I began to get requests for weddings, portraits, and corporate assignments, my business became a reality.

I then moved to Watertown, NY for my first full time staff photographer position at the Watertown Daily Times newspaper. My side business then took off as I had jobs for ABC News 20/​20, numerous magazines and annual reports, sporting events, and college yearbook photography. Now in Schenectady, I am continuing to grow my business by branching out on the web and social media.

There is nothing like doing what you love for a living and never getting tired or bored with what you are doing. I am a true perfectionist and I guarantee my work, meaning if you aren’t completely satisfied I will re shoot in order to get it right at no extra charge.
