Service. Precision. Honor.
Previously worked for:
I served as a U.S. Navy Corpsman with the 1st Marine Division, and that experience has stayed with me throughout my career as a photographer. For years, I’ve worked with servicemembers, military families, and organizations throughout the Washington, D.C. area, photographing everything from formal ceremonies and official events to portraits and the quieter moments surrounding them.
My service gave me an understanding of the traditions, professionalism, and attention to detail these assignments require. I know when something is about to happen, when discretion matters, and why getting the details right is about more than making a good photograph.
From retirements and promotions to formal ceremonies, receptions, conferences, and official functions, I photograph military events with an understanding of both the moments that matter and the protocol surrounding them. I work attentively without becoming part of the event, creating a complete record of the people, traditions, and details that brought everyone together.
Military ceremonies are built around details, traditions, and moments that happen only once. Familiarity matters. I anticipate the sequence of events so I can be in position before the important moments happen rather than reacting after they begin.
Whether I have a few minutes during an event or time for a dedicated portrait, I approach servicemembers as individuals rather than uniforms. I use intentional light, clear direction, and the environment to create photographs that feel polished and dignified without becoming stiff.
My career has taken me into demanding environments across the country, including four years as a staff photographer for NASA and more than three years photographing events for National Geographic. That work taught me to move quickly, solve problems without disrupting what’s happening around me, and consistently deliver polished photographs regardless of the conditions.
Military photography brings that professional experience together with a part of my life I understand personally. I know the importance of getting the details right, respecting the structure of the event, and recognizing the quieter moments that can matter just as much as the formal ones.
My goal is simple: photograph the occasion with the professionalism it requires and the understanding it deserves.
