WHY HIRE me.
Experience
As a seasoned, insured photographer with 22 years of professional experience and a decade as a full-time resident of The Sea Ranch, I bring a unique combination of expertise and local knowledge to every project. My passion is capturing your special moments and events with friends and family in stunning, timeless photographs. Beyond delivering cherished images, I strive to make the process enjoyable and memorable, ensuring a seamless experience you'll treasure as much as the photos themselves.
Fun
My goal is to make your photography experience fun, relaxed, easy and enjoyable, even if you normally feel awkward in front of a camera. I will guide you just enough to keep things natural, encourage real interaction and stay out of the way when the moments unfold on their own. I strive for candid, joyful images just as much as beautifully composed portraits and epic landscape settings along the coast and in the forests of The Sea Ranch. Let’s capture what feels true to you, without pressure or performance.-- just real connections, in the magnificent Sea Ranch.
Scouted Sea Ranch Locations
A stunning location sets the foundation for exceptional photography, and I’ve carefully scouted the most picturesque spots in the area to ensure your photos are truly magical. My recommendations consider every detail—breathtaking backdrops, beach access, the perfect time of day, ideal sun angles, and convenient parking. As a full-time resident of The Sea Ranch, I have an intimate knowledge of its most captivating beach and forest settings. This local expertise allows me to create extraordinary couples, family, and wedding photography that beautifully reflects the unique essence of The Sea Ranch.
Photoshop Retouching Expertise
Since the launch of Photoshop in 1990, I have been a dedicated professional in digital image retouching—bringing 34 years of expertise to perfecting your photos. At no additional cost, I will enhance your images by removing unwanted background elements, tidying up beaches, replacing dull skies, fixing windblown hair and making other meticulous adjustments. What does this mean for you? Your photos will be flawless, polished and truly unforgettable.
