About

A life and career in photography may have been destiny, but it was not always in my plans. Everything changed for me, a former Economics major, during a year abroad in Paris, France, with a photography class I took during my junior year in college. Imagine my parents’ surprise when I called them in the States to announce that I had found my passion: that I was, in fact, an artist with a penchant for photography - and one who loved working with people too!

In an age of digital photography, I meld computer skills and an eye for intimate, natural moments to create some of the most stunning images unlike any this region has ever seen. I love capturing real life moments: a father seeing his daughter in her wedding gown for the first time; parents adoring their newborn baby, or siblings being silly together. I believe that the job of a photographer is to create an image that depicts emotion, whether that emotion is joy or sorrow.

I create images that tell a story – a process that starts with getting to know my clients early, and making myself available to them from the moment their contract is signed. Many consider my style a quiet, laid-back approach, which helps my subjects’ natural personalities shine through. Always dedicated to a perfect celebration, I freely share referrals of other expert vendors with my couples.

Excellent quality, Awesome person

Robert is an excellent photographer. His pictures are stunning. He is very personable and easy to work with. On our wedding day, he had an excellent team with him to capture additional shots. We could tell he was very experienced and knew what shots would look good. He took extra time to make sure things were done right. When our day of event coordinator said things had to be a certain way, he was a great advocate for us. Robert's experience, professionalism, attention to detail, and calming approach make him a fantastic photographer to work with. We highly recommend Robert to anyone.

Best of the Best

I could basically write an essay on how wonderful Robert and his team were. And how they absolutely got the vibe. The pictures were just beyond anything I expected. Still astonished at how quickly and intuitively he got us, our friends and family, and what we wanted in terms of the photos. Especially given that this was an out-of-town wedding and we hadn’t met in person before.

He and his team put everyone at ease. Were so kind and encouraging (especially considering a relatively photo-shy bride and groom). They just made everything so pleasant and relaxing. Even my husband – who HATES taking photos – had fun and enjoyed himself!

If you want a smart, funny, kind, and chill person who is also amazing at what they do (without any ego whatsoever), Robert is the person for you. So many guests asked me how I found my photographer because they were so impressed by him and his team. Quietly amazing is how I would describe him. His work speaks for itself. Best of the best.
