About
I have been a working photojournalist for the past 25 years, and I genuinely love what I do. I aim to marry the science and the art of photography to give my clients pictures that meet a variety of needs. I have photographed many weddings, portraits, sporting events, real estate and architecture shots, and family celebrations during my career. Using proper lighting and quality equipment, I take pictures that capture memories that last a lifetime. I approach every single job I do and photo I take like it's the most important picture I've ever shot. I have energy, motivation, and patience, and I thrive on meeting the needs and challenges of each client. What I love about being a photographer is that I get the opportunity to photograph people at their best. No one wants a bad picture, right? I do every single thing I can to make sure I put a smile on my subject's face not only during the shoot, but also after...when they see the results. I'm a lucky guy to have this job!

Phil did a perfect job shooting our wedding! Everyone who attended commented on what a hard worker he is. He didn't miss a single shot and we just LOVE the pictures he's taken. Phil was so accomodating and easy to work with. His prices are great too! I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a quality picture.

Phil is the guy you want to take your pictures. He is so easy to work with and very professional. His prices are super reasonable and he is a very talented photographer. He's fantastic at portraits and amazed me with the action shots he took of my kids. I hired him for one job and loved the photos so much that I now have him booked to do our family Christmas card picture! I highly recommend him to everyone I know!
