Introduction: Photography was not something I always dreamed of doing. Obtaining a degree in Engineering and working a Professional Civil Engineer for 10 years seemed far from "artistic" but somewhere along the way I picked up a camera. I was hooked. There's not a moment that goes by that makes me think I should be doing something else with my life. I love the connection to people that this career has brought me and I take pride in the images that I'm able to provide them. This is not only what I do, this is who I am. I'm a photographer, I'm proud of it, I cherish it, I respect it. I use the best equipment available on the market today but equipment doesn't mean a thing without having a human connection to the subject in front of my camera. Providing outstanding service and product to my clients will always be my priority.

Wonderful experience. I am the art director for the Missouri State University alumni magazine and I hired him to take some portraits of a Missouri State University alumna for a spotlight in our magazine. It is not always easy working as the art director from long-distance via email, but Derek was prompt and professional in all of his correspondence. The images we got to choose from were stunning and his post-production work really gave the image an amazing quality. Really, really beautiful.

Needed professional headshots for work and I booked Derek having reservations after a less than wonderful experience with another photographer. Derek took great photos that I'm proud to use for work. He was especially pleasant to work with, efficient and his turn around time was absolutely fantastic. I would definitely recommend him to others, and I know I will use him again in the future.
