Hi, I’m Derek
I’m a photographer specializing in cinematic portraits, family sessions, creative photography projects, and professional branding.
What started as photographing friends and family grew into something much bigger — a passion for creating images that feel both natural and elevated.
I don’t just rely on perfect natural lighting and time of day. I use intentional lighting techniques — including off-camera flash and creative gels — to create depth, drama, and polish that stands out from typical photography in any environment.
My goal is simple:
- Make you feel comfortable
- Capture authentic moments
- Deliver images that feel timeless and refined
Whether it’s a multi-generational family vacation, a surprise proposal, a branding session for your business , or a fun creative idea you want to bring to life I approach every session with care, direction, and attention to detail.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll probably find me enjoying the coast with my family, studying new lighting techniques, or scouting the next perfect sunset location.
I’d love to create something meaningful with you.
