My obsession with photography began in my early 20's when I lived in Pennsylvania and would watch birds of prey from high atop a "widow's walk" overlooking the Susquehanna River, where I managed a Bed & Breakfast. Back then I had a Canon Rebel that shot film and the challenge of capturing a photo of a bird in flight was so exciting and challenging to me. I would spend hours up on the roof of that building photographing birds in flight from afar.

I still like to capture nature in its purest form with my photographs. However, I have discovered that I really love the magic that happens when I meet people and am able to connect with them and capture the moments in their life that I know will bring them joy for years to come. 

The Oregon Coast provides an incredible range of natural landscapes, from the rugged coastline to absolutely stunning old growth forests, to rivers, valleys, and mountains. As I expand my portfolio, feel free to contact me for any of your photography needs. I have experience in portraiture, real estate, food, commercial, product, and architectural photography. I also welcome any new challenges if you have a unique project that you need someone with a different perspective to capture your story or situation.
