Gallery of photos illustrating the diverse collection of portraits. From headshots to location portraits.

After graduating from Randolph Community College I spent more than a decade documenting communities throughout Eastern North Carolina with a camera. My passion for capturing story-telling images has allowed me to witness everything from High School Football to Hurricanes and even Presidential visits. My award-winnng photography has been published internationally, appearing in publications such as The Atlanta Journal Constitution, The Los Angeles Times, USA Today, The Guardian of London, and Time Magazine. As a child I loved the writing of Ray Bradbury, who was often noted for “tuning the ordinary into the extraordinary.” That’s the approach I take to every assignment, finding the priceless moments in everyday life. Weather I’m capturing a high school touchdown celebration or a bride’s final minutes before saying “I do,” I’m preserving an extraordinary memory. Whether I'm documenting a diverse community or capturing a couple's first dance, I'm photographing something extraordinary!

Gallery of recent work updated semi-regularly. Subjects vary from portraits to editorial work.

This collection of images illustrates the story-telling style of photography I use to preserve the memories of couple's wedding day. I've documented the communities of North Carolina for more than a decade. My goal is to create a visual record of your wedding without staging photos.

With a background in community journalism, I always strive to tell stories with my photography. Photographing children is no different. When I photograph toddlers I like to work unobtrusively with little to no direction. Relying on my skills as a story-teller I can document children as they play and capture their personality and the moments as they happen.

The four blocks of Dickinson Avenue between Reade Circle and Tenth Street in Greenville have become known as a diverse community within a community. Lined with tightly packed buildings and accessible sidewalks the area that lends itself to foot traffic. This once thriving business district has become a stretch of storefronts ranging from sparse to empty. Busy weekend traffic has seemingly disappeared with the exception of occasional foot traffic taking a shortcut to another location. Furniture stores and bakeries have given way to only a few remaining businesses and a hand full of newly relocated businesses. The absence of neon lights and towering billboards has kept many of these stores hidden from passer-bys. Antique stores and a lone comic book store mark an ironic era in Greenville's history next to silently decaying buildings, while a single martial arts business remains a lighthouse of sorts as the only business open after dark. Despite the decline in business many owners, some of whom have occupied stores for more than fifty years, remain doing ?business as usual.? Frank Craft, owner of Williams Shoe Shop echoes best the street's quiet resistance to change simply saying, ?this is home.? All American Martial Arts sits as the lone business open after dark on this four block stretch of Dickinson Avenue.
