A Little About Me

Hi — I’m Tom!

Photography has been part of my life since 1984, when I first picked up a camera as the class historian for my high school. What started as a way to document school life quickly became an interest that would stay with me for more than four decades.

Throughout my professional career, photography also became an important part of my work. I used photography to create marketing materials and product catalogs for my employers, giving me years of experience creating images designed not only to look good, but to communicate and present a subject effectively.

I made the move into digital photography in 1999, when digital cameras were still in their infancy. I even photographed my first wedding with an Olympus C2500L. I began using Canon equipment in 2013 and stayed exclusively with Canon for more than a decade. In 2024, I added Nikon equipment to my gear, and today I use both Canon and Nikon systems.

Today, I focus almost entirely on portrait and real estate photography. With portraits, I prefer a relaxed, natural approach that allows people to be themselves in front of the camera. With real estate, my goal is to create clean, professional images that present a property at its best.

The equipment and technology have changed tremendously since I started in 1984, but what matters to me hasn't: creating photographs that people are genuinely happy to have and share.

I volunteer with the media team at Crossings Community Church, where you’ll often find me behind the camera on Sunday mornings. You can see some of the images from the church by clicking here.

If you’re looking for an experienced photographer who values quality, attention to detail, and a comfortable experience, I’d love the opportunity to work with you.
