Day at the Apple Orchard!

Karleen and I went to an apple orchard on Saturday, September 29th. It was really fun and the apples were amazing! We also ran into an adorable girl that was enjoying some apples.

Jarrod and Katie!

On Sunday September 6th, my beautiful fiancee' and I got a chance to work together on our first photo op! We met Jarrod and Katie at a local park and captured some fun moments through the lens. It was a huge help having Karleen there to make sure all the hair is right and make sure my creative side does not go to crazy with the posses. I hope Jarrod and Katie had as much fun on the other side of the camera.

Summer In Italy!

I spent a month and a half this past summer studying photography in Florence, Italy at the Florence University of Arts. I traveled all around the contry side of Tuscany learning from a fenominal professional photographer. It changed my life!

Here are a few recent peices I have designed for an outdoor clothing and equipment store in Naperville called Badlands Outfitters. I currently hold a sales/designer position there while going to school. The top one was an ad in the Clipper Magazine and the bottom one was an ad in the Naperville Sun.
