"I am a commercial photographer and video director based in Ipswich, Massachusetts. Over my 25+ years in the business, I have travelled extensively both nationally and internationally, collaborating with amazing clients in design, hospitality, corporate and the culinary worlds.

If I’m shooting commercially or on an editorial assignment, I elevate the impact of light, beauty, luxury and elegance to the most ordinary of products or subjects.

I have been fortunate to experience a broad range of passions and hobbies as well. I shoot competitive skeet and sporting clays; I’m a certified Re-breather scuba diver; I’ve raced cars on tracks from Florida to Canada with the Porsche Club; and I enjoy the simple life boating around Ipswich and the North Shore."

Our cover image was shot by Cheryl Clegg. The series focusses on the changes at the iconic Maine Harbor. At one time the lobster fisherman walked out of their doors right to the harbor, allowing them to work on their boats and gear with ease. Today more and more families that have lived and worked out of the harbor for generations are not able to afford the property on the water. 

Neponset River Studios was built with intent from the ground up in a former paper mill to make your next shoot better.

Convenient first floor access and a large parking lot make unloading your gear a breeze. The studio features a full kitchen with an induction stove and oven, first floor direct access, 14’ ceilings, and ample natural light. Stands, V-flats, lighting equipment and the services of an in-house Digital Tech are also available.
