The quiet in the loud. The port in the storm. The calm in the chaos. Photography can show you all of it—and I’ll show you how to see it.
Imagine standing on the rocky Rhode Island shoreline, tripod steady, filters in place, the sun slipping toward the horizon. You lift your camera, and for a moment… everything clicks. That’s the power of guided photography learning—and it’s exactly what my Rhode Island photography workshops deliver.
One-on-One Photography Mentorships
Personalized photography mentorships that meet you where you are.
We’ll uncover your vision, sharpen your skills, and help your images finally tell the story you feel inside.
Whether you’re just learning photography or refining your eye, mentorships give you the guidance to grow faster and see deeper.
Not your gear. Not your talent. Your vision—and I’ll help you see it.
Rhode Island Photography Workshops
Hands-on, immersive photography classes inspired by the light, rhythm, and serenity of the Rhode Island coast.
From lighthouses to tide pools, every scene is a classroom.
You’ll learn to see emotion, story, and movement—not just pixels. These workshops are perfect for anyone who wants to take their photography to the next level.
Presentations & Talks
Photography isn’t just images—it’s seeing, feeling, storytelling.
These talks blend mindfulness, intention, and technique to show how the right perspective transforms a shot into a story.
My Teaching Philosophy
I wasn’t born with a “great eye.” My early photos were awful. My visual stories fuzzy.
But I loved every mistake. I worked harder than I’d ever worked at anything—learning most of it the hard way.
Photography isn’t about talent—it’s curiosity, persistence, and guidance.
With the right support, you’ll:
- See light, emotion, and story.
- Gain clarity and confidence.
- Connect deeper with your craft.
Think of me as Yoda to your Luke Skywalker. I won’t lecture—you’ll learn to wield your camera like a Jedi wields the Force.

Let’s Create Your Story
I’ve wandered shorelines, captured light, and yes—I drink far too much coffee. Let me help you create your story, frame by frame.
