about me

get to know me a little better

Hello!

First, I would like to thank you for visiting my photography website.  I am a Southern California Photographer with a love of learning new photography techniques – whether it is behind the lens or in post-processing.  I like to do things that don’t always fit the “proper” or “technically correct” way of how an image is “supposed” to look.  I find it fun to be a little different and not so conventional.

  

As you can see, I like to take a wide variety of images.  My passion is travel photography – I absolutely love to travel our beautiful country and our amazing planet; doing that paired with photography is the perfect equation for me.  


I am a huge nature nut and animal lover – wildlife photography is something I thoroughly enjoy.  I find being with animals in their natural environment so rewarding.  To be able to walk beside them or ride along next to them is quite spectacular.  


Lastly, I do really enjoy taking portraits for people.  I am not one that likes to pose people (although I will do some posing if need be), but rather I like to have the person or family act natural – almost as if I wasn’t there.  Catching those candid shots are super rewarding for me.  

 

Certified Professional

 

Photographer

I am a Certified Professional Photographer (CPP) through Professional Photographers of America.  This involved taking a class,  passing a test and submitting images.  In order to keep my certification I attend ImagingUSA every year, I take classes to continue to learn and grow in my photography knowledge, and I enter into international photographic competitions to continue to push my photography skills.

 

Master of

 

Photography

I am a Master Photographer through Professional Photographers of America.  What that entails is taking classes to better myself in the world of photography, and to also submit images to earn merits towards your degree.  When I initially embarked on this journey it wasn't for my degree.  I was taking classes - because I love learning about photography.  I was submitting images - because I loved getting the feedback to help me hone in more on my photography and editing skills.  Then before I knew it voila!  I had my degree - Master of Photography!

Lets capture those moments.
