"I met Derek in 2018 through Instagram, and we have created together on numerous occasions. Derek has always been up for any occasion from 15° days to sunrise and sunset, indoors and out! Derek has always been so encouraging and is great to bounce ideas off of to get that perfect feeling in a photo. There is a warmth to him that makes you feel at ease and comfortable posing (even at a public beach with hundreds of people walking by). Derek's quest to capture the immense beauty of Rhode Island is only second to his quest to capture the immense beauty of his subject. He knows real people. Real women, real families, real relationships. I am so grateful for our past work and I'm always excited for what's to come!"

We can't wait to use him for our newborn and family photos as our family grows as well!"

 "Derek is a true visionary and professional. Derek balances empathy and consideration with a very decisive and focused nature. He has both the heart and the mind of a rare, talented artist.  When we work together, I feel empowered, validated, and equal. Derek is inclusive, and his compassionate, kind disposition is always potent and present. All of Derek’s photos are delivered in excellent quality; they are striking, magical, and real. The time he takes to deliver photos always feels so quick for the amount of work he puts in, and I’m always left feeling in awe of the ethereal qualities in his artwork. He is responsive and always open to questions, creativity, and collaboration, which makes him an excellent choice for any projects or events both big and small. I recommend working with Derek for any of your photography needs, and rest-assured that you’ll be happy to have this artist enshrine any moment of magic he captures in your life. With Derek, the moment will be always be magical, ethereal, and very you."
