Welcome!
I am a full time photographer, workshop leader and creative educator based in the Pacific Northwest. As a photographer for most of my life, I continue to refine my craft and share my love of nature and photography with my clients and friends. By observing the rhythms of nature and life around me, I strive to create compelling photographs that draw the viewer in to the image and make a connection or evoke an emotion.
