I’ve been an artist for as long as I can remember. My first “gallery show” was on the walls, courtesy of crayons and a very bold purple magic marker. My parents weren’t exactly thrilled, but when I signed my name to it at the age of four, even they had to smile and admit I had something special brewing.
That same spark has stayed with me ever since. Over the years, I’ve studied art seriously—earning my BFA from Syracuse, training at Brooks, interning at Hallmark—and then poured myself into photography for more than 25 years. Along the way, I earned my Professional Photographers of America certification, something only 3% of photographers worldwide (and just nine in 100 miles of Kansas City) can claim.
But here’s the heart of it: for me, photography has never been just about credentials or technical skill. It’s about creating portraits that feel alive, personal, and joyful. It’s about capturing your senior (your family) in a way that makes you stop, smile, and say, that’s them. And it’s about making the whole process easy and fun—for both of you.
Because at Gallery Portraiture, I’m not just taking pictures—I’m turning life into art.
