One of the very best jobs of each year, I love seeing the ‘behind the scenes’ of the movie business. The Santa Barbara International Film Festival is an important stop on the Academy Awards circuit, so writers, directors, actors, studio execs…etc. all attend and make for such an amazing experience interacting with the community and...
I look forward to this experience each and every year!! The combination of outdoor mountain sports, celebrity guests and talented musicians is an event photographers’ dream! It’s not the most recognizable faces that I’ve covered, but truly one of the most enjoyable speaking engagements I’ve ever heard and photographed! Pulitzer prize-winning biographer and historian Jon...
I was honored to photograph this day called “Backstage at the USO”, an event to show gratitude for USO supporters and most importantly, service members (and their significant others).

Some head up Vail Pass (there are 3 routes to choose from), but all are so picturesque!! This year, over 3.5 million dollars were raised bringing...

The phrases ‘dream trip’ or ‘bucket list item’ are probably overused, but in this case it was a magical job that I feel so very lucky to have experienced!!! The trip began in Cape Town, South Africa.
