Creative, Classic Photography
This summer was full of new places to explore and photograph. Shannon and Jeremy had chosen Limoneira Ranch for their wedding and me, as their photographer. Soo nice! We had great light and great people to make beautiful memories for them. HERE is their slide show if you would like to see more! Such nice […]
So much of my work requires that I interact with people and with nature. Good thing I love to do both. Here is a shot of Davey Smith at Pipeline, on the North Shore of Oahu. Dave is a goofy foot, (Right foot forward) so was a good location to showcase his talent. Remember […]
Having shot many times at Hartleys, one of the most beautiful gardens for weddings in this area, I was thrilled when Tianna and Ryan chose me to photograph their day. It was a perfect fit for this couple who loved a beautiful, natural environment to surround them and their families on this perfect day. The […]

This was part of our Sunday afternoon ritual, growing up in Santa Barbara. I’m sure my brothers were entertained as cried. Really thought […]
We were so excited to photograph at the Pierpont Inn! It’s always soo pretty and the room that they provide for getting the bride ready is, well, perfect! … and it’s filled with vintage furniture and an ocean view. What more could you ask for? Tiffany and Alex were so easy to photograph and the […]
When I spoke with Shannon about about a location to take hers and Jeremy’s engagement photos, she knew exactly where she wanted them taken. A place that she’d spent many hours studying. A beautiful, peaceful place surrounded by books and some gorgeous lighting. Camarillo Library. I had to agree with her and was so glad […]
It’s early in the morning as I write this post. Sometimes my mind is not quiet enough to sleep and I find myself checking up with friends on Facebook. This morning I saw a post from a client/friend of her dog waiting in the car, early in the morning, while her husband was being deployed […]
Sitting on the floor in my hotel room at Bally’s, with the most beautiful nigh time view I could possibly have. Always loved a good skyline and Vegas doesn’t disappoint, even at one am. My words just had to leave my head and find their way through my fingers to this keyboard before I could […]
