Over the years, Cal has found that you can put together a prize winning image with great light, composition and effect, but when the client sees the image again the only thing they will remember is how they felt when that image was taken. If it was not an enjoyable or meaningful experience, the image is worthless.

It is important to let the subject create the emotion and feeling in the image and the photographer to save that moment. In this way, the subjects are creating their own unique story path, not the photographer's idea of the story. Every wedding or event is unique. Let it be.

With a smooth blend of photojournalism and stylistic portraiture that is right for the particular moment, Cal will put together your unique story and provide you with artistically conceived and executed images in albums that can be as individual as you are.

Album presentation is another priority. Cal is constantly searching for album ideas. Of course, he regularly uses the popular professional album companies, but he also offers hand made albums made by professional bookbinders that can build albums like true fine art books to the specifications of the clients. Albums can range from the increasingly common "coffee table" books in his Designer Series to archival fine art or watercolor papers bound in custom covers.
