Few photographers have the opportunity to cover multiple events annually in the nation’s premier motorsports leagues, including NASCAR, IndyCar, and NHRA, and I’m proud to be one of them.

My suitcase is always ready for the next event. After each job, I prepare for the upcoming one by packing, charging batteries, and ensuring my cameras and equipment are cleaned and ready to go.

While I cherish time with my family, I’m always prepared to hit the road when the next opportunity arises.

I began my photography career carrying gear and managing media, always eager for the brief moments when I could step in and capture images on my own. Starting at the ground level, I’ve worked my way up through dedication and experience.

Born in Bristol, Tennessee, home to one of the most iconic short tracks in motorsports, I now live in Veedersburg, Indiana, a town known for producing the bricks that paved the original surface of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. My neighbors operate a race shop where they race ATVs. Racing is in my blood, and I was fortunate to grow up around some of the world’s best photographers. With this background, my passion for motorsports photography runs deep, and it fuels everything I do.

Photography Services AT THE TRACK Have a specific shot list in mind? I’ve got you covered! Whether you need a single photographer or a team, I’m here to deliver. For more extensive shot lists, I collaborate with a network of talented, professional freelance photographers, each bringing their unique artistic expertise to ensure every moment is captured perfectly. With attention to detail and a commitment to quality, we work seamlessly together to bring your vision to life. No matter the scope of your event, you can trust us to capture every essential shot with precision and creativity.

IN THE STUDIO I offer professional photography services both on-location and in-studio, delivering high-quality results with a swift turnaround to meet your project deadlines.

Whether you need striking headshots that capture personality, detailed product photography that enhances your brand, or coverage for special events, I have the expertise to deliver polished, impactful visuals. My approach focuses on understanding your unique needs and providing personalized service from start to finish. With a keen eye for detail and professional editing, I ensure every image reflects your vision. Explore my Client Delivery information to learn more about the seamless delivery process I provide.

DRONE PHOTOGRAPHY Looking for stunning aerial imagery? As an FAA-licensed drone photographer, I am fully equipped to deliver high-quality aerial photos that provide a unique perspective from above. While FAA regulations may restrict flying directly over active events, I can capture impressive images of your venue or facilities on a quieter day, showcasing your space from a breathtaking vantage point. Whether you’re seeking dynamic sunrise or sunset shots or simply want to highlight your property’s features from the air, my drone photography services will elevate your visual storytelling.

Product Photography

Looking to showcase your product with professional imagery that drives sales? I specialize in creating high-quality product photography tailored to your brand’s identity. From captivating lifestyle images that tell your product’s story to crisp, white-background shots ideal for packaging, e-commerce, and print materials, I ensure your products are presented at their best.

My attention to detail and expertise in lighting and composition help highlight your product’s key features, making a lasting impression on your audience.

After the Shoot EDITING Every image I deliver undergoes a minimalistic editing process, as the photos are captured with exceptional quality straight out of the camera. Prior to delivery, all photos are carefully cropped, and minor color adjustments are applied to enhance clarity and visual impact. For projects requiring advanced retouching or custom enhancements, my Photoshop expertise is available to refine your images further.

Additionally, I offer image captioning upon request, providing a polished, ready-touse final product tailored to your needs.

MEDIA DISSEMINATION Ready to share your images with a wider audience? I partner with Icon Sportswire to ensure your photos receive professional media distribution. Through Icon’s syndication network, your images are made available to leading platforms, including the Associated Press and Getty Images, maximizing visibility and reach across the industry.

GALLERY DELIVERY Ahead of your event, you will receive a personalized link to a private client gallery where your images will be uploaded in real-time during the shooting process and finalized afterward. This secure gallery provides easy access for viewing, sharing, and downloading your photos. For long-term clients, I also offer professional image archiving services, ensuring your photos remain safely stored and accessible for future use.

SCANNING Does your company have a collection of film or print photographs in need of digitization? I specialize in professional film and print scanning, ensuring your valuable visual history is preserved with the highest quality. This process not only safeguards your archival materials from physical degradation but also makes them easier to organize and search—no more shuffling through old slides or prints. Preserving these images helps maintain the legacy and posterity of your organization for future generations.
