Hi, I'm Lance.

GIRL DAD. CONSULTANT. FORMER PARAMEDIC.

I spent years as a critical care paramedic, work that's all about showing up in the moments that matter most and not missing anything. These days that same instinct shows up behind a camera instead of in the back of a helicopter or ambulance — preserving life is still my calling.

Somewhere in the middle of all that, I became a girl dad, and a disaster management consultant. Both taught me the same thing photography did: pay attention, and the good stuff takes care of itself.

Since 2004

Twenty years preserving life — first as a paramedic, then preparing hospital systems for disasters.

Self-taught

I learned photography so my daughter's childhood wouldn't go unrecorded. I haven't stopped capturing or teaching since.

Based in Middle Tennessee and North & Central Texas. Frequent traveler - I can come to you.

Working with Lance was such a great experience from start to finish. He makes the entire process feel so easy and comfortable. My sessions with Lance always feel really natural and fun. I absolutely love how the photos turn out each and every time.
