Because real moments matter.

There’s a raw, unfiltered beauty in the way people move, create, perform, and just exist—and too often, it gets missed. I’m drawn to the energy, the emotion, the chaos, and the calm. Through a lens, I get to freeze those fleeting seconds that speak louder than words.

I do this to tell stories that feel honest. To give people something they can hold onto. To show the soul behind the surface.

What the clients are saying

    Chad is the man and his work/craft is on point. The attitude is on point and he’s passion over profit / all that. He was able to capture the energy/spirit of the show, translating the sound to viduals effortlessly. A true instinct and attention to detail. I couldn’t ask for anything more.

    Being photographed by Chad was an awsome experience! He was supportive and professional and the final products really captured the heart and emotions of the music. I'm greatful to be a part of this.

    We worked with Chad recently to capture some moments from our recent live show. Now this was a highly energetic punk rock show which is not always easy to capture. But Chad blew us away with just how precisely he documented the energy in the room, both the crowd and on stage. If you’re looking for a high quality professional, look no further. Cannot give Chad enough gold stars!

    Working with Chad felt so easy - like a dance. I was completely at ease. When I saw the final photos, I actually cried. He captured every bit o flove and detail I put into my space. Then he wrote the most beautiful blog that helped me share my story when I did not have the words.

    Chad is extremely professional and discreet, while at the same time somehow getting every shot and angle you want and capturing the true essence of the moment in each photo. His ability to blend in perfectly with his subjects while somehow seeming invisible allows him to get the pictures you’ll want.
