You know what they say about our lovely planet; it’s a small world. That sentiment gets even stronger in a small town. Living in a small town gives you plenty of opportunities to meet all sorts of people, time and time again. However, it wasn’t until a few months ago that I met the talented […]

Over the past year, I’ve consciously shifted my photography business from portrait photography over to almost all interiors photography. That’s not to say I don’t still love doing portrait sessions, it’s just not my main focus right now. But this time of year, the blossoms are insanely beautiful so I wanted to keep my schedule […]

I don’t typically shoot events but when I was approached by one of the board members of the Chico Children’s Museum to help shoot their gala, I was honored and I accepted. The night was magical.
