About Me

“The more we create, the more we love and lose those whom we love, the more we escape from death. With every new work we round and finish, we escape into the work we have created, the soul we have loved, the soul that has left us. When all is told, Rome is not in Rome; the best of a man lies outside himself.” – Romain Rolland


I’m a free spirited, freelance photographer located in San Diego, CA.

Ever since the first time I clicked the shutter on my mother’s “borrowed” polaroid camera to take the picture of the cute pollywogs in a puddle in a field close to my house, I knew I had found my calling…The quintessential voyeur since childhood, I knew that taking pictures, even at that young age, was what I was meant to do.  My heart still flutters to see the end result of my shutter clicks to this day…And there’s only three other things that make my heart flutter as much – my daughter, Chelsi; my yorkie, Bowie; and my golden retriever, Stoney.
I see the world differently than other people. I am a perpetual “try-er” of new and different things.  I am a big kid at heart and still feel that I have alot of growing up to do. I love my daughter, my family and my friends.  I love Sushi (I could eat it everyday!)  I love the Beatles.  I love live music.  I love people in love.  I love my dogs.  I love what I do.  And there’s nothing I would love more than to take your picture…If you think you might want to stand in front my camera and feel the love, please shoot me a note….

I love all music.  I love live music. I love people in love.  I love my dogs.  I love what I do.  And there’s nothing I would love more than to take your picture…If you think you might want to stand in front my camera and feel the love, please shoot me a note.
