The place I call home is Alameda, CA. Although I grew up in Findlay Ohio, I consider the San Francisco bay area my home. I have been shooting photos since I can remember. It has always been a dream of mine to share my interest and love of photography.

I remember the first time I went on a photo shoot at the age of 8 years old and it was with my father, a professional photographer. That was the same year I received my first camera and started taking pictures right away. Through the years I’ve continued to share my photography skills with family and friends just to keep that piece of my Dad alive in me.

A few years ago I was telling a friend (Nancy) my story about how I missed my calling to follow my passion. Passion is the power of what I see through the lens and can share with you in my photographic prints. I hope that you enjoy my photos as much as I enjoy taking them.

My photos capture the ocean and nature at its best. I offer a blend of detail and unforgettable images that make you feel like a part of the pictures.

I do custom matting, custom portfolios, commercial and residential photos as well as non-traditional portraits. I like to capture the real you. Let me bring you close to what you love.
