I am based in the Kansas City area where I grew up. When I was fifteen my grandfather saw my interest in taking photographs and passed down to me his all manual Pentax MX, lenses, and accessories. It was my first camera system, and it started me on my lifelong passion for photography.

Landscapes and time lapse videos:

Life is rich and full of experiences if you know where to look and have the drive to get out and explore. What started out as a means to Remember Every Moment in the great adventure of life quickly become a passion. Every landscape photo and time lapse video has a story behind it. Those who are willing to look deeply are rewarded. My aim is to pass on to the viewer the sense of wonder and awe that I experienced while standing at each memorable site.

Several print and licensing options are available for photos and videos displayed on this site.

Swim action, and team & individual pics:

I have an extensive background in competitive swimming and coaching, and in 2016 I started WJR Photography to provide families with rich memories to hold and look on for decades to come. I combine my knowledge of the sport with technical know-how and deck access to produce exhilarating photos of age group and high school age swimmers looking their best and strutting their stuff.

I'll finish that off with some posed and professionally lit team and individual photos. I pride myself in taking photos taken on-site, with no phony composites or digital backgrounds. I have also been known to provide promotional photos, and to do a wedding here and there.
