I’m a storyteller with a camera. Capturing real life, one honest frame at a time.
Born in Ireland, now rooted in the U.S., I’ve spent over 15 years photographing everything from quiet portraits to full-day stories. My style is shaped by heritage, faith, and a love for the details most people miss.
Photography runs in my blood. My great-grandfather’s camera caught the Titanic leaving Ireland. That legacy still drives me to create images that mean something, that last.
If you’ve got a story to tell, I’d be honored to help you tell it.

The Princess
Beneath the sun’s warm golden beams, A princess wanders lost in dreams. Her gown flows soft through flowers wild, A regal heart, yet nature’s child.
-
Irish Eyes
In emerald eyes, the ocean sways, An Irish boy dreams of far-off days. The waves hold stories, bold and grand, Of journeys made to a promised land.
-
Cherry Springs
A pathway winds through crimson flame, Where cherry trees burn autumn’s name. Each step whispers a fleeting song, Of seasons past and days so long.
-
Expecting Dreams
Beneath the sky’s soft pastel glow, An expectant mother walks below. The waves hum lullabies, calm and deep, Cradling dreams she’s yet to keep.
-
Subtle Light
The light caresses, warm and true, Tracing contours, soft and new. A back turned still, its story told, In hues of amber, light and gold.
-
The Voyage
Weathered hands and eyes of steel, The seasoned sailor rides the keel. Each line etched deep by storms and spray, A map of oceans, night and day.
-
Dreaming of Fall
Dreaming of fall, where colors ignite, Crimson and gold in soft twilight. A whisper of leaves in the cool, crisp air, A fleeting season, beyond compare.
-
Mountains Cold
From the mountain pass, it roars to life, A snowstorm cuts the air like a knife. Whirls of white in a wild ballet, As the peaks give winter its fierce display.
-
Hope in the Shadows
Her hands clasp tight, her Bible near, A quiet prayer through pain and fear. The world around her fades away, As hope takes root where shadows stay.
-
The Elder
His eyes, deep wells of joy and strife, Hold stories of a village’s life. Through trials faced and dreams held near, They shine with wisdom, calm and clear.
-
StandingRock
He walks with steps both firm and free, A bridge between what was and will be. Through ancient ways, his spirit flows, In him, the voice of a people grows.
-
Timeless Strength
Through winter’s veil of silent white, The bison moves, a steadfast sight. Its breath, a cloud in the frozen air, A timeless strength, both wild and rare.
-
The Graduate
The melody of his future seems to play through the image, a tribute to both his academic and artistic journey.
-
The Fiddler
In black and white, the notes take flight, A world of sound in shadowed light. Each chord, each pause, a story sings, Of heart and soul, and trembling strings.
-
Lady in Red
A lady in red, a bold, bright flame, Against winter’s hush, she stakes her claim. The snow bends soft to her vibrant hue, A striking contrast, fierce and true.
-
Strength
Amidst the clang of weights and sweat, She builds a haven some haven’t met. With strength and grace, she paves the way, A lady of power, bold as day.
