I'm a graduate of the University of Mobile and New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. After Hurricane Katrina I moved back to Mobile, Alabama for nine months, but returned to the Crescent City in June 2006. Two years to the day after that, I left New Orleans for an eleven month detox in Fort Worth, [Republic of] Texas. Now I'm back in Mobile.
I love to travel and I rarely leave home without my Canon EOS 40D. I've been to 35 states, 3 provinces, and a few countries. While living in Fort Worth I realized that being within short driving distance of a large body of salt water is important to me.
I'm a writer and a photographer, and you can hire me for local photography- from New Orleans to Pensacola. Please use the contact form (by clicking "contact" above) to get a hold of me. I'm happy to work with you on prices. I'll do events, but I prefer not to do weddings unless they're for friends.

San Miguel Mission is in the heart of Santa Fe, New Mexico. It’s beautiful inside and out. Unlike El Santuario de Chimayó which still holds regular services and is open to pilgrims daily, I’m not sure if San Miguel Mission is more than a museum with a gift shop. In New Orleans Catholic parishes are...
Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us. For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. [Philippians 3:17-18, ESV]
Until you can stand up in front...
In February 2008 I shot a girls youth conference put on by my friend Courtney and her friend Brittany. There were only a few of us guys around, and we definitely felt the pink overload. Haley Morgan Smith sang for the girls, and she is absolutely wonderful (and hilarious). Overall it was...
