Who I am and what I do.....

My photography is more than a paycheck to me.

It is a part of my life. 

As a portrait photographer I try to draw in the natural surroundings of a person to create their story, not just a picture. Nature photography has been a passion of mine since college. As the years have passed I have begun to be drawn more and more into the natural world and the beauty just waiting to be uncovered there. My goal is to produce photographs that reveal the inner beauty of the life and people around us. 


Educated in Long Beach, California I studied Commercial Photography, Photojournalism and Photo Lab Techniques. I moved into the professional lab industry where I was introduced to assisting professional photographers. I, then, began to work with many great photographers. To name a few, Nigel Parry and Francois Robert. I was Joe McNally's first assistant.
I am so grateful to all of the great photographers that took me under their wing and taught me the skills to light and work with any situation, the ability to bring something to the table, to work hard to get the shots needed, and to create my client's vision using my style and abilities.

If you need to make a memory of something important to you, trust me to make it happen for you.
