Legacies

Photography has been my profession for over 20 years and a lifelong passion for almost 40. I began in the mid-1980s by documenting life in my native Czechoslovakia and later the U.S., after moving here in the 90s. I often explored my newly adopted country by giving myself pretend magazine “assignments.” At that time, I could only dream that this devotion would one day become my career. Within a few years, though, rigorous college studies in graphic design profoundly influenced my photography work by adding creative depth and an understanding of best business practices

Fast-forward to the present. I’ve built on those early experiences and developed long-lasting work relationships with magazines and business clients ranging from sole proprietors to global corporations. No matter the business size or industry, the goal remains to always provide photography services based on great working relationships and a commitment to delivering the best results. 

Along with photography services, I provide digital editing, simple to advanced image manipulation and retouching. 

I’ve worked solo or in teams with art directors and editors. I always observe deadlines and non-disclosure agreements.

legacy projects

I work with individuals, families, and businesses to create legacy projects of long-lasting and prized value. They include memoirs, books, and mementos for anniversary and achievement celebrations, as well as special tributes.

archiving

& restoration

I offer digital restoration services that breathe new life into old photos—repairing signs of wear and tonal shifts with expert care. I also organize archives, making them easily searchable and beautifully presented for future generations.

personal

stories

I create stories by personally interviewing remarkable individuals I’ve had the privilege of meeting. In addition to writing, I also record their voices and take photos. It’s been a true joy to bring these stories to life.
