Travel Photographer Based In Dayton

In late February 2021 I spent a day scouting engagement photography locations around Chicago. In the process of discovering locations to photograph recently engaged couples in Chicago, I also spent time photographing CTA’s The L, elevated train / subway system in downtown Chicago. I have always like trains, but urban subways are a fascination of mine. The Chicago L photos below are of the elevated train line in The Loop and things seen from the Brown Line train to Merchandise Mart.

I took my 5th boat tour with Wendella Tours & Cruises in October 2020. The Chicago city photos below are of buildings and other things you can see from the Chicago River. The Wendella Architecture Tour travels all three branches of the Chicago River, and the views are excellent. Some of the things you can see are 77 West Wacker, Merchandise Mart, train bridges, Willis Tower (Sears Tower), Civic Opera House, and several Amtrak trains. I love being a Chicago travel photographer.

In March 2021 I spent a day photographing downtown Columbus, just for fun. I found so many incredible photography spots to use in the future. Many of the best Columbus photography locations were to the west of the city along the Scioto River. The rest were in the core of downtown Columbus.

On a cool late summer day in September 2020, I traveled to Chicago to do my first traveling engagement shoot. This bride and groom (who are awesome) are getting married in Dayton, Ohio but live in Chicago. After many changes due to weather and COVID-19, I made my way to Lincoln Park, Chicago, early one Saturday morning.

In February 2020, I spent a week in Orlando, Florida for the runDisney Disney Princess Half Marathon. While I did not run it this year, I have run two half marathons so far. I didn’t have the time to train for the 2020 version. However, my wife trained every Saturday for weeks in preparation for […]

For my 2 day trip into the city (Manhattan), I chose to stay in Times Square, as my favorite hotel, The Knickerbocker Hotel is located there. This hotel is high-class and expensive, but the central location and quality of everything at the hotel cannot be beaten. The staff is excellent, and I love photographing the […]

For my 2 day trip into the city (Manhattan), I chose to stay in Times Square, as my favorite hotel, The Knickerbocker Hotel NYC is located there. This hotel is high-class and expensive, but the central location and quality of everything at the hotel cannot be beaten. The staff is excellent, and I love photographing the property! Give it a shot next time you visit New York City! Find it at 42nd Street and Broadway.

Travel photography is one of my passions, so when I get a chance to visit a new city I get excited. In 2019, I visited downtown Baltimore, Maryland for the first time. I spent a day photographing Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, Harbor East, downtown Baltimore, and surrounding neighborhoods. Below are photos of downtown Baltimore and Baltimore’s Inner Harbor.

On a fall afternoon, I spent a few hours wandering around downtown Louisville, Kentucky. One location I wanted to photograph was Louisville Waterfront Park. This unique park is situated on the Ohio River facing Indiana and is a multi-acre park that has concert areas, green space, playgrounds, and a railroad bridge called The Big Four Bridge. The approach to the bridge is 1/4 mile and has an awesome looping ramp. I spent a while photographing the Ohio River, the bridge, Indiana, and Kentucky. The bridge is beautiful and is a great reuse of an abandoned railroad bridge.
