Welcome to TBL Photography

First of all, I am so excited you stopped by to check out my art!

I believe that photography shouldn't be confined to a single box. Instead of forcing myself into one specific genre, I have spent years exploring the full spectrum of the craft—spanning everything from intimate macro work and on-location portraits to dynamic event coverage, unfolding news, and sweeping landscapes and cityscapes.

At the core of all my work is human connection. I thrive on building relationships with the people I meet, and my ultimate goal is to blend photographic art with genuine emotion so you can cherish the results for a lifetime.

Born & Bred in Kansas

The Kansas City and Kansas community is central to my artistic journey. Over the years, I have been blessed to have numerous fine art prints displayed throughout the metro area:

  • 2010 Gallery KC: I enjoyed a multi-year span showcasing prints at 2010 Main Street in the heart of the Crossroads Art District.

  • El Patron (Southwest Blvd): You can currently find several of my signature cityscape fine art prints displayed right on the walls.

Accolades & Published Work

My passion for capturing powerful moments has opened doors to incredible features, prizes, and publications globally and locally:

Working Together & Pricing

Every shoot is unique, and I aim to deliver the maximum number of great images for you to keep. Rather than focusing on restrictive minimums or maximums, the final gallery size depends on you, your energy, and how many settings we explore.

  • Portrait & Location Base Rate: Starts at $100.00. Reach out with your location, desired theme, and ideas so we can discuss tailored contract pricing.

  • Corporate Day Rate: Starts at $1,000.00/day. This is a comprehensive fee covering standard essentials that others often charge extra for, including professional editing and web gallery hosting.

  • Travel: Expenses are determined individually for projects outside of the Kansas City Metro area.
