About Me
After 25 years in business, I have photographed tens of thousands of people, from every demographic of society, and yet every time I encounter someone new for a photoshoot, however brief, there is still that little electrical connection of excitement of meeting and working with someone new. I look forward to meeting you.
I graduated from Pacific Lutheran University with a professional art degree in 1984, and exhibited my paintings for a time in one of Seattle's top art galleries. I spent ten years as a photographer's apprentice in the 1990s here in Humboldt, honing my skills in a traditional black and white film darkroom. This experience working with film and mastering darkroom printing techniques melded with my fine art background led me to open my portrait photography business in the year 2000.
Proudly serving the Humboldt area for over 25 years!
