why hire me

Experience

As a professional, insured photographer for 22 years and full-time resident of The Sea Ranch for ten years, I offer extensive experience and local knowledge in creating photographs that beautifully capture your special moments and events with friends and family. My goal is to create cherished images, as well as a fun and memorable experience. 

Off-Camera Flash

I bring a lighting assistant to facilitate the use of off-camera flash. The difference, when compared to shooting only with available light, is dramatic: skin tones and colors will be accurate, harsh shadows and hot-spots are eliminated. Your photos will look sharp, natural and spectacular.

Scouted Sea Ranch Locations

A beautiful location is essential for great photography and I have scouted the most idyllic settings in the area. My recommendations are based on a venue's background vista, beach access, optimal time-of-day, sun angles and parking. As a full-time resident of The Sea Ranch, I know all of the best beach and forest locations to ensure magnificent couples, family and wedding photography that captures the essence of The Sea Ranch.

Photoshop Retouching Expertise

Since its launch in 1990 I have been a professional Photoshop editor. That is 33 years of digital image retouching. At no additional charge, I will remove unwanted background elements, clean-up beaches, replace dreary skies, fix wind-blown hair and make many other adjustments. What does this all mean? Your photos will be perfect.
