I believe the key to a successful portrait is a warm connection and open collaboration with the subject. In addition to being easy to work with, you will find that I am adept at putting my portrait subjects at ease and skilled in finding the right pose and lighting for each individual to produce dynamic, pleasing professional portraits and headshots.

My portrait photography is professional, modern, stylish and geared to capture your unique personality and convey the image you want to put forward. I have multiple backgrounds and locations to create a variety of looks and portrait styles.

I work out of my downtown Columbus, Ohio Studio, a convenient walk from most downtown Columbus businesses, the Ohio Statehouse and the Columbus Convention Center with plenty of parking in front of my building.

I am available for Columbus, Ohio executive portraits. business headshots, executive headshots, corporate headshots, actor headshots, modeling headshots, modeling portfolios, editorial portraits, magazine portraits, LinkedIn portraits, social media portraits and family portraits.

I also have a mobile portrait studio to photograph portraits on location throughout central Ohio and beyond. Great for headshots at conferences, conventions and corporate events, or staff portraits at your office.

Portrait clients include: Ohio Health, Nationwide, Limited Brands, PWC, BDO, Huntington, Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse, ProMusica Chamber Orchestra, John Hancock, Merrill Lynch, Morgan-Stanley and many others.
