"We came across CJ when searching for a photographer for our sailboat ceremony. We met with CJ over facetime and were immediately set on working with him. His personality fit seamlessly into our group of 25 guests. Our family was talking about how great he was to be around for months after our wedding. He made the day a breeze. The photos turned out amazing - we couldn't have been happier with our experience."

- Paul & Megan

About me

     I'm CJ and I'm glad you're here!  I've been a full time photographer since 2013, and before that a hobbiest and part time video editor. I love photography; I photograph everything from weddings, elopements, families, engagements, anniversaries, maternity, family reunions, corporate events, headshots for business and modeling, landscapes, and real estate to name a few. 

     I would characterize my shooting style as primarily photojournalistic and my images as timeless and classic. I aim to portray colors accurately and give my clients images that are as faithful as possible. 

     I'm easy going and laid back with a pinch of good humored sarcasm sprinkled in. I love getting to know my clients and strive to make every photoshoot easy and fun for them. 

My favorite compliments after a photo shoot is, "Thank you, that was fun." 

See what people are saying about me here.

Things I like:  traveling, exploring, hiking, camping, snowboarding, golf, surfing, coffee, beer, whisky, cigars, books, exercise, baseball, soccer, hot tubs, swimming, and sunscreen.

 

Things I love: family, friends, and God.  

 

I look forward to hearing from you :)
