About Me

Welcome to my blog. I am a professional photographer in Mukilteo, Washington. I believe that photographs are some of the most important and powerful things that we own. Everything we have ever experienced resides somewhere in the recesses of our brain. Photographs are the keys that allow us to catalog and remember the wonderful moments of our lives. If you don’t believe me, play this little game.

Close your eyes and think back to when you were two. What color was your room? What was your favorite toy? What does your mother look like? What do you look like? If you can remember, most likely it’s because someone in your life had the foresight to photograph it. Family photographs are some of the most valued things that we own.

It's well reported whenever a natural disaster occurs the first thing a family looks for, once the safety of their loved ones is secured, is the family photo album. The history of their lives, the proof of what they and their family have accomplished.

I have the best job in the world. I get to watch as children grow stage by stage, I witness the confidence on a teenage girls face when she sees the beautiful woman she has become and I share in the love and joy of families coming together to document their lives. Yes, the very best job

This month I am the featured artist at the Red Cup Cafe. Our local cafe has a rotating art wall that showcases local artists in a variety of mediums. I visit my coffee shop so frequently that it sometimes seems like a second home so I am very proud to have my work up on the walls. Visit the Red Cup Cafe at 4th and Lincoln, right up the hill from the studio, to check out the display!
