I am David Smith, and I'm a husband, father of two grown sons, grandpa, and dog parent to a very strong willed French Bulldog. After retiring from a 29 year career with the Missouri State Highway Patrol, I now have the time to focus exclusively on my photography.

I became interested in photography when my youngest son was playing high school football. What started out as a simple interest in capturing a few action shots of my son, turned into a passion. I now shoot sports as a freelance photographer for CBS MaxPreps.

It has been a wonderful experience capturing special moments that people can treasure the rest of their lives. Seeing a smile, or even an occasional tear, lets me know I've done my job in capturing something special. Whether it's an image of an athlete at a sporting event, or a portrait of a high school senior, family, or couple who have just become engaged, I love to see a positive reaction from my clients.

Please take some time and browse my site to see some of my work. I hope you enjoy the photos, and if I can be of assistance to you, please send me an e-mail and let me know.

Thanks for visiting my site!
