My gift as a photographer is to make people feel comfortable and relaxed not only with their surroundings but with themselves as they open up and connect with the camera. I specialize in wedding photography, family portraits, high school and college graduate portraits, family reunions, special occasions, promotional and advertising projects, along with sporting events such as wake boarding and motocross racing. I also enjoy creating portfolios for budding new models. Living in Mt. Shasta, I am able to incorporate a wide variety of scenic settings for any photographic shoot including mountain lakes, frothing creeks, serene meadows, and magnificent forests. I studied four years under local photographer Lani Phillips, received my Associate in Arts degree from College of the Siskiyous, and have specialized training in custom hand tinting photography. My goal as a photographer is to capture a rare moment in time that one can cherish for many years to come. A photograph is more than a pose or smile; it is an expression of one's self captured in time; it is a collection of "Memories captured in a timeless fashion..."
