One photographer.
Plenty of curiosity.

I started Waldron in 2010. Since then, I’ve photographed people getting married, people building businesses, places with a story, and a fair number of things I wouldn’t have thought to expect.

The assignments vary. What keeps me interested is fairly consistent: people, light, a sense of place, and the details that make something feel like itself.

Of Pines and Valentines gives the brand and commercial side of that work a home of its own. I’m based in the Kansas City area and happy to travel when the assignment calls for it.

You’ll work directly with me. When a project needs additional people, I can bring in independent collaborators suited to the work.

A sister studio.
A different kind of assignment.

Of Pines and Valentines is for brands, businesses, organizations, and the people behind them. Weddings and personal portraits remain with Waldron.

The photographs here were made through Waldron. This new identity carries that experience into a more focused commercial practice.
