Hi, I'm Chris.
I believe photographs become more valuable with time.
Long after the flowers have wilted, the stage lights have dimmed, or your kids have grown up, your photographs become one of the few ways to step back into those moments. That's why I care so much about creating images that feel genuine, timeless, and unmistakably yours.
It's About More Than Taking Pictures
Most people tell me the same thing before a session:
"I'm awkward in front of the camera."
The good news? You don't have to know what you're doing.
Whether we're photographing your wedding, celebrating a graduation, documenting your family, covering an event, or creating something completely unique, my job is to guide you every step of the way. I'll help with posing when you need it, encourage genuine moments when they happen naturally, and create an experience that's relaxed, enjoyable, and true to who you are.
At the end of the day, I don't just want you to love your photos. I want you to look back and remember having a great time creating them.
Different Stories. Same Purpose.
If you've explored my portfolio, you've probably noticed that one gallery might feature an elegant wedding while the next dives into cinematic horror or imaginative concept photography.
That's intentional.
The stories I photograph may look different, but they all have one thing in common: they matter to someone.
Whether it's joyful, emotional, mysterious, or completely imagined, my favorite photographs are the ones that make people stop, feel something, and remember the moment long after it's passed.
A Little About Me
When I'm not behind the camera, you'll probably find me exploring a theme park with my fiancée Allison, planning our next adventure, editing with a cup of coffee nearby, or hanging out with our two cats, Luna and Nova.
I'm also the Creative Content Manager at Orange Lutheran High School, where I spend my days telling stories through photography and video. That experience has taught me how to find meaningful moments quickly, work comfortably in fast-paced environments, and create images that connect with people.
Whether you're planning one of life's biggest celebrations or simply want to preserve a moment before it slips away, I'd be honored to tell your story. Let's create photographs that become more valuable with time.
