My first photographs were taken with a film SLR camera at the age of 13. I loved taking pictures and recording moments in time... seeing pictures appear on the paper in the dark room was magical. Several decades later, the process of creating those images is still magical to me. My equipment has changed a lot since then, but my passion and skill for capturing moments has only grown.

I love photographing weddings and events here in the Bay Area and where ever they take me. I am an observer, with a quick finger and an artistic eye for composition. On occasion, just taking pictures is not enough and you have to make them. It is during those opportunities that I blend photojournalism with fashion photography to enhance the beauty and bring out the personality of all my clients.
