A native of central Oregon, I know and love the beauty that surrounds us. I've been in the photography business officially since 1991, and "dabbled" long before that. To transition from hobby-picture-snapper to professional photographer, I completed photography training from the New York Institute of Photography and training with world class celebrity fashion and lifestyle photographers. I’m a proud member of PPA (Professional Photographers of America).

Marlise, my beautiful wife, is also my assistant. She likes to explain our working relationship this way: "Tom can tell you where the sun will be at any given time of day and get the lighting exactly right. I, on the other hand, have no idea which way west is, but I'm good at knowing if your hair or hands or wedding veil need tweaking." So we make a great team, striving together to produce beautiful images and helping you have a fun and memorable photo session with us.
