About Me

I grew up in Sonoma County and now reside in the Monterey Bay Area and San Luis Obispo County. I don't use photo editing software, don't touch up/fix, and don't do any corrections. I grew up watching my dad take photos and wishing I could be like him. Photographing these wonders has become my passion and I'm happy to share it with you.

I'm working on the coloring book and hope to take more photos of flowers soon.

May 2013

Dear <<First Name>>,

May marks my anniversary, I celebrated one year of business on May 11th. I have learned many things about starting a small business, marketing, and funding in the last twelve months. I could not have made it this far without the support of all of you. I really want to thank my family and B for all of their encouragement as well as my top two customers KL and AM. I appreciate that you have wanted to help a good friend on a new venture. (Please see below for a coupon code for my website.) Please share my newsletter using the share features, Like my Facebook page, and follow me on Twitter. Thank you.

Vision Quest Ranch

Our 4th Anniversary was spent at this fabulous place. African Elephants are my favorite animals and my other half was kind enough to book us on some incredible tours and experiences up close with them. I took over 800 images that were tough to edit down. A few are available, view them on my website here (click on here).  The place is amazing if you haven't had the chance to visit it, please do.

Malakoff Diggins State Historic Park

A trip to a training awarded a wonderful opportunity to visit this beautiful park. View the park website here (click on here). If you haven't been there, it is worth the drive up beautiful Highway 49, here are some images of the drive up (click on here).

Los Osos Poppies

I was waiting for my windshield to be replaced when I noticed the poppies dancing in the wind along the driveway. I had to snap a few photos, view more of them here (click on here).

Ananda Village and Expanding Light

I was fortunate to take Sharing Nature Training with Joseph Cornell and Greg Traymar outside of Nevada City at Expanding Light within Ananda Village. The flowers were amazing including the lotus blossoms blooming on Lotus Lake. The natural beauty of the place spoke in the wind in the trees and all the blooming flowers. View the images on my website here (click on here).
