My Story.

I began my professional photography career at the Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, California, where I earned both Bachelor of Arts and Masters Degrees.  Before returning to settle in Santa Barbara to launch my photography business, I worked for Surface Magazine, an award winning international design publication.

I now live in beautiful, sunny Santa Barbara where I work for a range of clients throughout California and travel worldwide.  My work has been published in Santa Barbara Magazine , Santa Barbara Visitors Magazine, Santa Monica Visitors Magazine and The Santa Barbara Independent.

I am currently serving as President of Professional Photographers of Santa Barbara County and strive to stay connected to the photographic community.  I am also a member of Wedding and Portrait Photographers International and Santa Barbara Conference & Visitors Bureau and Film Commission.
