Derek is a headshot, portrait, and sports photographer with over 20 years of experience capturing people at their most genuine and dynamic. Photography has been a part of Derek’s life from the very beginning, first learned through time spent alongside his mother, whose passion for the craft laid the foundation for a lifelong dedication to storytelling through images.

Specializing in professional and classic portraits and sports, Derek brings a balanced approach to every session—combining a warm, approachable presence with a professional eye for detail, timing, and composition. Whether freezing a powerful moment of athletic intensity or creating a portrait that feels natural and authentic, Derek’s goal is always the same: to reflect the personality, emotion, and story of the subject.

With decades behind the lens, Derek understands that the best images come from trust, patience, and experience. Every shoot is guided by a commitment to quality, consistency, and meaningful connection, resulting in photographs that feel timeless rather than trendy.
