Hi, I'm John

Owner & Lead Photographer



I’ve always loved taking pictures—and I don’t say that generically. When my 10-month old has avocado smeared all over her face, you better believe I have my camera within reach to shoot the world’s most adorable smiles and giggles. I’m totally not biased.


I have been a photographer for over 10 years. During this time, I’ve shot concerts, weddings, real estate, family portraits, baby portraits, engagements, branding and headshots–EVERYTHING.


My family is what keeps me grounded: my roots. Through my camera, I'm honored to tell the story of yours.
