Studio 42 was born one special April 2 many years ago. Personally, I have been doing photography for many years. I run and operate the full time studio, specializing in all facets of portraiture and photography. Enjoying my 3300 sq ft studio is fun, including the newly updated 30'x30'x16' infinity walled studio.

Love doing portraits of people.  Photographed celebrities such as Larry Fitzgerald of the Arizona Cardinals, Phil Keoghan from "Amazing Race", Nadia Comaneci, Mike Ditka & Lovie Smith from the Chicago Bears, along with Chase Miller, a driver from the Nascar Nationwide Series.  Also met and photographed Jeannette Walls, author of "The Glass Castle".  Recommend Keoghan's book, NOW: No Opportunity Wasted.  A positive, inspiring read.  Currently in the planning stages for a military focused body of work with hopes to create a book with the autobiographies and portraits.

Would love to hear from someone that can challenge me with a creative photography session.  TF* for special projects as I run a full-time studio.  Have a concept that includes a bike, car or horse? The studio can handle it!

If you have an idea or need a photographer, let me know.  BTW, it can't hurt to ask me.

Carpe Diem!
