Business Details
Your Trusted Newport Photographer for Weddings, Portraits & Events
As a seasoned photojournalist with over three decades of experience, I have dedicated my career to capturing life's most meaningful moments with artistic precision and emotional depth. My journey began in 1984 after graduating from Rochester Institute of Technology with a BFA in Documentary Photography, followed by a decade at The Newport Daily News. Since launching my freelance practice, I have specialized in wedding photography, portrait sessions, and corporate event coverage across Newport, Rhode Island, and Southern New England. My approach combines photojournalistic storytelling with technical expertise to create timeless images that reflect each client's unique narrative. Whether documenting a wedding day, crafting senior portraits, or photographing high-profile events, I prioritize authenticity, natural lighting, and unobtrusive observation to preserve genuine emotions.

My work with the Haitian Health Foundation since 1990 demonstrates my commitment to using photography as a tool for social impact, capturing resilience and human connection in underserved communities. Clients consistently praise my professionalism, creative vision, and ability to make subjects feel at ease during sessions. I offer comprehensive services including on-site assistance, custom albums, and high-resolution digital files, with flexible pricing tailored to individual needs. My deep familiarity with Newport's premier venues ensures optimal lighting and composition for every event. By maintaining lifelong client relationships, I have the privilege of documenting generational milestones, from family portraits to corporate achievements, creating visual legacies that endure.
