Photography is an essential part of my life. It’s my way of documenting and sharing with others how I see the world and the people in it. Whether it’s a portrait made in my professional studio in Bellingham or a personal project photo shot on the fly, it’s my vision and my eye that sets the resulting image apart from one by anyone else.


At my Bellingham portrait studio and gardens, I photograph families, children, high school seniors, business professionals--people from all walks of life. Using skills honed from more than a decade as a professional journalist and writer and I get to know my subjects before they step in front of my camera. That, combined with my life-long experience and training as a photographer, I create portraits that truly reflect your personality.
