My parents were the second generation to run Bradford Studios in Bay City, MI. A small portrait studio with a strong community presence, we favored quality to quantity. My father sought to create lasting, impactful momentos for people that they could cherish forever. His dedication to his craft and the people he served inspired me to be the artist I am today. The lessons he taught me carry on through my craft and through my life.

The Editing Suite
Very rarely do you get a perfect shot straight out of the camera. Even the best ones need a little work and a little love. Editing skills are just as important to the creation as the photography skills. It takes a bit of creativity and a lot of patience, but it is always worth it.
I am personally still running Photoshop CS5, which means no Lightroom for me. Everything here was adjusted and edited by hand. No filters, no presets, no adjustment loadouts - just good old-fashioned manual editing. After a great photoshoot, my favorite part is seeing the before and after of my shots.

I'm always looking to improve. If you have a minute to leave some feedback, I'd greatly appreciate it.
