I was around twelve years old when I got my first camera. The one thing I really wanted for Christmas a cheap Polaroid. Prior to that I occasionally was allowed to use the "Family Kodak".My big break came as a sophomore in High School when my art teacher recognized my interest and talent and essentially, made me the school photographer. In the next three years I learned by experience and self teaching, shooting, developing and printing hundreds of rolls of Black and White film.

The first twenty plus years was spent working for a local camera/photo speciality store. In no time, due to my high level of interest and desire to learn, I became the guy all the pro and "week-ender" photographers came to for help. I learned a lot from my customers. I learned about lighting, posing, composition and equipment. More importantly, I learned what not to do. I learned what it means to be a real pro.

Missie (my wife) and I started Studio B over ten years ago. Wedding, Portrait and Commercial Photography was and continues to be the focus of our business. It's been a wild ride growing and transitioning to digital photography. We've been blessed in our business. With a staff of five, I'm convinced that Studio B has one of the most talented creative teams in the business. Apparently our clientele agrees.

I love what I do. People say it shows in my work.
   
   

 
  My interest in photography began when I was sixteen and involved in a yearbook class
at Castle High School. After high school, I involved myself in college classes and working
in a darkroom at a local camera shop. When it became clear to me I wanted my hobby to
become my career, I enrolled at Ohio Institute of Photography. I completed my schooling
and moved back to Evansville in 2001.

I have been formally trained in commercial and portrait photography. I think part of the
reason I enjoy shooting weddings is because it truly provides an outlet to be artistic and
to blend both types of photography.

I have been photographing weddings along side Daniel for four years. In my second
year with Studio B I competed at the Professional Photographers of Indiana state
convention. My wedding album won first place and took the prestigious Bill Stockwell
award. I have always felt extremely honored as I was competing with photographers who
had been shooting for twenty-five plus years and I received those honors at the age of
twenty-three.

I truly enjoy documenting weddings. I get to know couples and be an observer on one of
the happiest days of their lives. I find it fascinating and rewarding that my work is to
capture the images they will cherish for the rest of their lives.
