After 33 years on the East Coast raising my family and photographing hundreds of others, I’ve recently returned to El Dorado Hills, California — bringing with me nearly two decades of professional photography experience and a passion for capturing authentic, timeless moments.

For more than 19 years, I’ve specialized in family portraits, high-school senior photos, and professional headshots that reflect both personality and connection. I love helping families tell their stories through imagery that feels relaxed, natural, and true to who they are. Whether it’s your senior’s milestone year, a long-overdue family session, or updating your professional image, my goal is to create photographs you’ll be proud to share and treasure for years.

As a graduate of the Washington School of Photography, I combine artistic vision with technical expertise — using light, composition, and genuine emotion to craft portraits that stand the test of time.

Now serving El Dorado Hills, Folsom, Granite Bay, Cameron Park, and the greater Sacramento area, I’m excited to meet new clients and continue doing what I love most: helping people capture life beautifully.

If you’re looking for a warm, experienced family, senior, or headshot photographer in El Dorado Hills, I’d love to work with you.
