After retiring from UCSD in early 2007, I took the opportunity to pursue my passion for photography full time. The joy of photography for me is in taking portraits, either in my home studio or in the beauty of the great outdoors. I shoot in camera raw with a Canon 5D. Throughout my working years I took classes to study photography. More recently I have become expert with Photoshop and I'm an active member of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals. My goal is to provide you with photographs that you will treasure, photos with that "WOW" factor!!!

My photo sessions are fun! In a relaxed atmosphere infused with soothing or lively music, we will work together to create the mood and look you want in your pictures. From glamour shots to formal portraits, I want you to be thrilled with the results.

My childhood was filled with traveling adventures thanks to my father's military career. Home base, however, was always Escondido, California which is where I settled. I live in a lovely country neighborhood in southeast Escondido. It is ideal for indoor or outdoor photography.

I hope to work with you soon.
