Born and raised in California, at the age of 19 I left San Francisco for the wide open spaces of Wyoming.
The best of all worlds. As a kid in California I burned up more than one instamatic camera between the Red Wood Forests, the beaches of Malibu, and photographing friends. In Wyoming I was photographing mountains, horses, sunsets, and occasionally a portrait or two. Eventually in college I took my first photo class and I wanted to photograph everything all the time. Everything! But I chose the road most traveled which didn’t include a career with my camera.
Ah, the life of a career consultant. A lot of travel and a lot of time alone in other people’s worlds. Time alone, down time, time that was spent with my camera exploring. Cityscapes, parks, National Parks, monuments, rodeos, equestrian events, everything and everywhere. And everywhere there were people. People wanting their photographs taken.
I started doing headshots and portraits when I’d notice people trying to do selfies. I’d step up, ask them if they needed help, pose them a little and clip off a few images. People were really happy, I mean REALLY happy with the images and it felt fantastic! I loved doing it. But I wanted to do it right. I wanted to give people the best images of themselves, images that capture their depth, breath, and spark. It’s so incredible when you see a client’s eyes light up and hear them say “Wow!” and you know they’re pleased and proud of themselves deep inside.
The feeling is mutual. I take pride in my work and I'm committed to giving every client the best images imaginable. Every client, every day.
