My name is Brian and I am addicted to Photography. From an early age art was always my passion. At first I thought I could incorporate art into my everyday life by pursuing a career in engineering.

Design stuff + make money = happy, fulfilling career Right? …Wrong!

Don’t get me wrong, I love the field of engineering but I also love Northwest Ohio and it is a bit rough making all of those things happen in a small town. So after a 10 year stint of doing a job that I didn’t enjoy and not being able to express any creativity, my wonderful wife Dee talked me into pursuing a hobby I loved. Photography.

Being a techie computer geek anyway (I can’t get out of Best Buy in under an hour…I’ve tried) it was natural to embrace the Digital world of design and art. It felt right the second I picked up a camera.

The Camera for me has always been a bit magical. We all lead very busy, fast-paced lives and it is easy to forget how much beauty and art there is in everyday life. Photography allows us to stop time, if just for a fraction of a second and grab a moment. To be able to show that person the beauty I saw in that moment is why I love what I do.

I have always believed that there is beauty in everyone. Every person regardless of shape, size or age has something beautiful in them and it has always been my passion and pleasure to try and capture that in an image. We want to provide you with more than a “picture”. We want to create an image that is both accurate and artistic. An image you would be proud to hang on a wall. An image you would be proud to share with family and friends and in years to come, be reminded of how much fun we had making it. Most importantly, to remember you at that moment in your life. How important is that?

We opened B&D Photography 5 years ago with modest hopes, a lot of love & support and a solid belief. In that time we have worked hard at improving our craft. We have won several international & regional awards, spoken at events across the US & Canada. We were featured in Studio Photography Magazine, do design work for Graphic Authority, launched brianDESIGN, our own design company, blah…blah…blah... Basically, we just want you to know we work hard at what we do to be the best we can be at it. To me, this is the greatest job in the world. I love what I do…even if I have to pose like a girl from time to time.

Thanks for listening….Mahalo!
