To freeze a moment in time was something only wizards used to do.
We now live in an age of rapid movement where we are forced to become those wizards.

Hi! My name is Dave and I have been a photographer since 2022

After spending years in the US Navy and as a Stay at Home Dad, I returned to IvyTech in their Visual Communications program where I was introduced to Photography. Since that first class, I have expanded my photo toolbox as you can see from this portfolio.

I grew up in a rural town in Northeastern Indiana before I moved with my family to Southern California’s Inland Empire as a teenager. After graduating high school, I joined the US Navy where I worked as an Aircraft Firefighter.

I currently live and work out of Fort Wayne, Indiana. I have a good eye for detail and love helping my clients find solutions for their photo dreams.
