Portrait Photographers in Chico, CA

I am a small town kid with a big appetite for adventure. My passion is capturing moments in their natural habitat. I want you to feel the image not only tomorrow but in 20 years when you're showing your sons 1st girlfriend or reminding your grandkids what life was like 'back then'.

*PLEASE READ BEFORE CHOOSING/MESSAGING ME* Thank you for considering me, I want to start by saying that I know your time is valuable. Likewise I hope you know that my time is valuable as well. So please make sure that you 1) Look through my portfolio to see if my style is right for you, and 2) Only message me if you are interested in me, and maybe two other photographers. If you’re going to choose 3 or more photographers that you are going to contact, I kindly ask that you not include me. As vendors of thumbtack we pay a significant amount for each lead.
