About Art

Art has found many things in life to greatly appreciate and – at the heart of these things – photography. But more than anything else in the world, Art simply appreciates people! Art’s relaxed, welcoming spirit brings a cheerful calmness to everyone he meets, and he considers photography a unique gift that allows him to creatively connect with people from all walks of life.  Art  has discovered a true passion for photographing Weddings & Alternative Lifestyle Boudoir!

Art has been surrounded by photography all of his life, and having grown up with a Dad whose career allowed him to travel the world,  Art was privileged to visit a few of these exotic places with his family. Because of that, there are many facets of Art and – like a precious gemstone – he sparkles differently depending on how you look at him.
