Portfolio
If you check out my About page, you will learn more about how my studio including my entire art and photography portfolio went up in flames during the Santa Cruz CZU Mountain Wildfires. After a hiatus to recover both emotionally and financially, I’m rising from the ashes to return to my great love of photographing captivating images and building up my portfolio shot by shot. On this page, I will be regularly updating my photo portfolio.
I hope you enjoy my work.
