Based out of southeast Pennsylvania, I am an avid landscape, wildlife, architectural and real estate photographer and photography instructor.

I absolutely love sharing my 40+ years of photographic knowledge and helping inspire people to take their photography skills to deeper and more creative levels!

I am thrilled to not only be teaching classes, but to also be leading workshops-or Photo Treks as I call them, to some of the most beautiful places both locally and beyond. My goal is to provide an exceptional learning experience, in a friendly and fun environment. Workshops are kept to a limited number of participants so there is plenty of individual instruction. A ton of time is put into scouting a location and preparing a schedule that will allow for the greatest learning impact in the shortest amount of time. I understand that there are many options to choose from to learn. The internet has brought a wealth of knowledge to everyone’s fingertips. But, there is nothing that beats being part of a live learning experience, where you receive hands-on training and instant feedback on your images and techniques. Join me for one of dozens of events being held throughout the year. See Workshops & Classes page for more details.

I feel truly blessed to have witnessed so much incredible beauty and to be able to capture and explore the wonders and glory of God’s creation photographically. Whatever I do, I strive to do it with excellence, hoping my life and my images will bring glory to God, the Creator of all the wonders we see.
