Field notes.
I'm a photographer and mechanical engineer based in Reno, Nevada. For the past eight years I've made portraits and landscapes here — using long familiarity with the region, its weather, and its light to make pictures that feel particular to a place rather than generic.
The work is a mix of personal projects around Northern Nevada and commissioned sessions for clients — graduation portraits, couples and engagements, real estate, and a small amount of editorial. I shoot digital and film, and I'm a certified FAA Part 107 pilot for aerial work.
My standard is simple: make pictures worth keeping.
If you're considering working together, send a note. I generally reply within 48 hours, and I'm happy to talk through the shape of a session — what you want it to feel like, where it should happen, how the resulting images will live.

I'm currently taking new commissions. Tell me a little about what you have in mind — location, dates, what the pictures are for — and we'll go from there.
