About
Quality photography is art your family will cherish for years. With over 30 years in business and a small, dedicated team, I focus on creating images that truly reflect who you are—not just what you look like.
I specialize in portrait, real estate and architectural, and commercial photography, bringing the same care and attention to every session. Your image is important, and you deserve the best.
Let’s talk about your vision and see if we’re a good fit to work together on an outstanding portrait or project. There is no charge for our initial consultation.

I have known Ron for over 35 years, in several different capacities, including his work as a portrait photographer. Ron photographed the picture that is on my business cards, and I would not hesitate to employ him again, and I am happy to refer him to friends and family.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Every assignment is different and as such it is difficult to establish a firm fixed price without a clear understanding of the scope and expectations of the client. For most assignments, I prefer to quote a fixed price. That way, on shoot day, no one is looking at the clock and can focus on producing great images. I do offer discounts to repeat customers and for referrals, but that is done on a selective basis.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Communication is key, and establishing a rapport must begin in the planning stages of a shoot. I spend as much time as necessary going over the intangible details (mood, message, and personal meaning) as the practical details (location, wardrobe, time of day, etc.). During this discussion I can learn where my client is coming from and where she/he wants to go with the imagery so I can make images that fit their objectives. It also lays out the requirements, i.e., what they should bring with them and other things they should do to prepare.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been shooting semi-professionally for more than 40 years.
