About Me
Hey! My name is Derrick. I’m a Long Island, New York based photographer and graphic artist. I love the beach, playing beach volleyball, the Mets and glazed or vanilla frosted donuts!
I picked up my first DSLR camera right before we found out my wife and I would be expecting our first child. I knew I wanted to learn the ins and outs of photography so that I could document her journey through pregnancy and capture every moment I could while our son was growing up. We all know they grow up way too fast and I wanted lasting memories of it all... or as much of it as I could get.
One of my favorite photography quotes is, "Taking pictures is savoring life intensely, every hundredth of a second" - Marc Riboud. It accurately describes the reasoning for my passion of photography and my approach to your family session or wedding day.
I love to create photos different than the norm!
I'm not the super formal type. I like to laugh and have fun during our time together. On your wedding day or the day of your photoshoot, I want us both to feel as if I’m a friend taking photos rather than some hired camera guy. So I'd love to be the guy to provide you and your family with something to cherish for a lifetime all while having a blast together!
