About

I have always had passionate love for the beautiful earth and an appreciation for photographic essays of an artist vision.  There is nothing like staring into a photograph that brings back memories of who you were at a specific moment or invokes your desire to want to visit somewhere beautiful. I grew up in the mountains and remember the gorgeous lakes, streams, and vast countryside.  Walking through the woods, watching ripples of light flicker on the water, hiking beautiful parks, listening to slow moving water, playing guitar, sharing stories or hearing music around campfires, bike riding on back country roads, and looking for details in everything that surrounds me.

I have an amazing loving wife and two handsome boys who are such a blessed treasure to behold.  Dakota is a jokester and goofy, Suzanne is quiet and peaceful, Joshah is Curious George, and I am a little of everything.  We love to watch movies on weekend nights, take walks, bike rides, play soccer, and explore places from museums to nature.  I love the deep relationships of family that are established from knowing so much about each other.  I also love meeting beautiful and passionate people, learning more about culture, and using words that communicate depth and meaning.  I love a conversation that is deeper than 5 minutes and its exciting when business encounters become friendships.  I like taking the time to slow down, appreciate each step taken, and cherish the precious beauty that surrounds these moments.

Everything I do in photography stems from a passionate heart to embrace life.   My style of photography is done in an organic and pure exploratory purpose that gets to know you and everyone being photographed.  When you look through any photograph on this site, you will see that care and precision was taken to make beautiful images that have life in them.  This is done through questionnaires, FB, emails, and conversations to endeavor a relationship that shows more than just a nice picture.  Almost all of the photography is done in natural outdoor environments where there is peaceful settings and not many people or disturbances.   Whether an engagement session, wedding, event, graduating high school senior, or self exploration, every moment will be a taste of time and embrace the beauty of yourself in each photograph.  Please take time to see these artistic visual essays of gorgeous people, beautiful scenery, and the tiny details of craftsmanship that bring each photo to life.  Thank you for the honor of your precious time to read some of my passion and a little about what I love.  Please inquire more by calling my personal cell phone at 919 943-8915 or go to the contact page to send me a message.  Thank you and may the moments in your life be lived out gorgeously,

Daniel
