History
I have been a fine artist and a photographer for more than twenty years, and have lived and worked on both coasts. I recently returned to the Bay Area from a stint in the Southlands, and am now putting down roots in Sebastopol. I work in my studio here as well as on location all over Sonoma County, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, the East Bay, and elsewhere.
Specialties
I specialize in high-end portraiture of individuals and groups. My trademark is relaxed-looking subjects in beautiful natural light, though I do have studio lighting if needed. I work with families, graduating seniors, musicians, and commercial clients on branding, advertising, editorial work, album covers, and headshots. I also shoot a handful of weddings each year. I put my subjects at ease and we have fun while shooting. I approach my work with an artist's eye and more than 20 years of experience. The result is a session that yields a wide range of natural, spontaneous-feeling shots that run the gamut from traditional to unexpected. I back this up with solid professionalism, reliability, good humor, and a knack for making people look good. My normal session fee includes post-production work on the images, a web gallery, a print credit, and all the hi-resolution files for you to keep.
