About
I am a seasoned Photographer, who sees the world in a kaliedoscope of shapes and colors, and at the golden hour of the day, uses the natural light and outdoors to create your perfect backdrop. Think of me as your personal family journalist...it's your story, and your the author...I am your illustrator.
I LOVE PEOPLE! It's not a job for me, it's a passion. Getting to know alot of people, and their families, watching their kids grow and experience their milestones with them, fills my heart with joy.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to speak with my clients several times, or email to get a feel for who they are and what they like as a back drop. People like to send photos of ideas they have, which I welcome, and we build on their ideas.
My turn around time is fast, so no long waiting to get your images. I provide an online gallery for viewing and downloading, and also a USB is sent to your home. I like to save you money, so I don't offer printing services but I make it easy. Your images will all and always be high resolution and fully edited.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I offer 8 years of commercial studio and on-location experience, producing photos from idea conception to end production. My work has been featured in leading publications (e.g.; Inland Empire Magazine, Chino Valley Medical Center website).
I plan, prepare, light, compose and edit 100+ images each day for a range of products, from jewelry, fashion and food to restaurant, hotel and other on-location shots.
I play a key role in the visual storytelling and branding of leading consumer product companies and contribute to successful marketing campaigns.
Previously, I traveled throughout the U.S. to capture nature, landscape and architectural photography for print magazines and websites.

How did you get started in this business?
My Dad was a Photography instructor, and I have been around Photography all my life. I learned first on film, and learning the techniques to manually developing photos, to switching and learning digital.
I have comprehensive knowledge of Photoshop, InDesign, Lightroom, Bridge, Illustrator and Capture One Pro; studio and lighting setups; and photography equipment including Canon cameras and Nikon cameras. You can say I’m obsessed with learning about and applying the latest advances in photography tools, services and equipment to improve image quality and automate workflows.
