Casual Portraits:
Everyday life, beautifully recorded. Each of the photos in the following gallery illustrates that person’s life as it really exists. Far more than could be summarized here, but I’ll highlight a few.

George, at a Lake Michigan beach with the car he’s been gradually restoring for years, a car much like the one his father owned when George was a young kid.

Tara, on a relaxed evening at a friend’s house, deepening longstanding friendships simply by spending time together and sharing stories.

Jack, who has crossed the continent multiple times with everything from a skateboard to an electrified VW bus, as he prepares to continue the latest journey from San Fransico to New York on an electric bike.

Amelia, practicing her sewing skills as she spends time with her mother and prepares a halloween costume for this year.

Buddy, who has spent a lifetime making music, in the studio where he records, teaches, and practices.

Mark, who at 74 years old still visits the skate park multiple times per week to clean up, offer friendship and support, and to champion the cause of the local park to city officials.

Everyone has a story. I want to tell yours.

Sessions from $295+ and typically take place at your home or in a location of personal significance.

Back Yard Sessions:
You and your friends, spending time together, with memories recorded for your future selves.

It doesn’t have to be in your back yard, but aren’t many of your best memories with friends from the moments you spend just being together, sharing conversation and laughter, growing into each other’s lives?

So whether it’s at one of your homes, a back yard, a camping trip, or anywhere you all love to spend time together - take some time to record your friendship and give yourselves a lifetime of good memories.

Friendships are important. I want to help you remember yours.

“I appreciated Peter's ability to blend in the background, but jump in and direct and engage when needed. The photos he took of our causal girl's night will be ones we treasure for years. He managed to capture our long time friendship in pictures, which is such a gift!”
    - Amber K.

“Peter not only took great photos, but somehow made it feel natural to be photographed while having normal conversation. I highly recommend using him!”
    - Tara B.

Sessions from $395+ and typically take place at one of your homes or in a place where you all love to spend time together.
