About
It is my goal to make you feel good and comfortable in front of the camera. Most people, unless you're a model, feel uncomfortable in front of the camera. I want you to look and feel your best. I create stand out images. I believe everyone is beautiful and unique. I have been making images for over 30 years.
I get to create lasting memories and images for people to be inspired by and treasure. All the new people I get to meet, learning new things about other's business's and services they provide, and how I can help them to better promote themselves, their brand, mission, and vision. I have worked all over the US, and had the opportunity to travel abroad as well. I am grateful to be a passionate creative with a vison to help change the world.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to find out more about what my clients needs and expectations are right away to ensure the best possible outcome.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a degree in Visual Communications. I have done a lot of work with Conscious Leadership groups. As a result have implemented a lot of these skills and practices in my own life. I learn from every job and client I have how I can do better next time...
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
I am willing to work with clients on their budget needs based on what is required. Every estimate is custom and tailored to fit you.
How did you get started in this business?
My grandfather was a photographer in WWII. I have been looking at photograhs and making photos my whole life. It's in my blood. My camera is always with me. For many years I did it for my passion. I have been learning how to turn my passion into something that benefits others as well as my own creative drive to make art and things with my hands as an expression.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I have worked with my different types of clients over the years. My experiience is vast and my skill set wide and varied. Everyone told me I had to pick. I never wanted to pigeon hole myself to one type of work. To me, that then becomes a job, not a creative passion endeavor. I bring all my knowledge and experience to the shoot and creative process with me when I arrive. I have had the pleasure to work on large full crew TV & movie sets, large corporations, editorial work, events, all the way to one on one with small businesses and sole proprietorship. In pools, on mountains, behind waterfalls, in clean rooms, from military bases to aiport runways, foreign countries, non profits, sporting events, fashion, and documentary work.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I recently had my first solo art exhibition. Farmers Market Fresh. This project has been my personal passion for the last 5 years. I have been working to build a better connection to food and those who grow it. Our planet need our help. I believe Regenerational Agriculture is one of the ways to help. The monocultures of Industrial agriculture have robbed us of real food, Heirloom varites, and nutrients. My goal is help bring awareness to this issue. I want people to eat better and feel better as a result of food being thy medicine. I want to create connection to food again.
What advice would you give a customers looking to hire a vendor in your area of expertise?
Everyone is a photographer these days... I have the skills, equipment, and knowledge to help you stand out.
What questions should customers think through before talking to vendors about their needs?
Do you have a budget? What are your needs? What is your desired result? Who can best help you achieve this?
