One of the best perks of my job is to travel the world photographing the neatest destinations! This one surprised me though. Just 40 miles from the San Diego airport, Cal-a-Vie, in Vista, California, is spectacularly gorgeous. The group rented out the entire property and because the owners imported many items from France, it was...
I’m so happy to move past Covid and to be back photographing events!! Photos from the 2019 Juneteenth event in Denver helped with the decision to commemorate the day as a holiday in Colorado! The photos were even featured on the front page of the Denver Post: After the Mayor announced the Colorado holiday, President...
Signaling the end of the Covid shutdown is near, it was delightful to get out and work again!! Even better, the job was on the charming island of Lana’i in Hawaii!! The island used to be entirely covered by the world’s largest pineapple plantation (Dole phased out in the 1990’s). Now, nearly the entire island...

I had never been to the event but had definitely heard about the incredible 16th. Stadium seating was built around the...

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). The day began on the District Wharf, a pretty area on the water across from the Potomac River (and Reagan Airport) in Washington D.C. with a...
