I grew up in Southern California and eventually came up North to go to school in Santa Cruz.  There I became enamored with the forests and fog and the ruggedness of the coast.  I started taking pictures on hikes and quickly fell in love.                       

In 2001 I had the fortunate opportunity to live in Paris, France for two years.  There I studied photography more formally.  My days were filled with black and white shoots in all the well known Parisian places.  I also traveled extensively throughout Europe documenting my journeys on film.   

Currently I live in beautiful Sonoma County, California.  Here I have the country, vineyards and the coast at my disposal.  My primary focus is landscape photography but I have also been known to show botanical macro pieces and some architecture as well.                                                  

Photography is a powerful medium and my choice for creative expression.  It has the amazing ability to convey emotion and feeling to the viewer.  It can transport someone to a time and place as if they had been there themselves.  I can take my love for nature and put that in an image to share with the world.
