Feeling, Framing, and Color.

Events

My photographic eye comes from a love of people, texture, and storytelling.  I prefer capturing moments with unposed and authentic scenes in high-contrast lighting.  My tools and techniques allow me to avoid the artificial created by bright flash and practiced smiles.  Engagement and cheerful realism is my goal.

Relaxed and imperfect

Portraits

I prefer handheld shooting and to use ambient light indoors, spotlights in studio, and El Paso’s frequently sunny skies to capture the extreme light and shadow common in the southwest. I aim for warm tones indoors and often incorporate nature to include texture to soften framing.
