WITH A KEEN EYE FOR CAPTURING ACTION, A BUNDLE OF CREATIVE IDEAS, AND CAMERAS AT THE READY, MY GOAL IS TO CAPTURE THE ESSENCE OF YOUR BRAND AND BEING, TELLING YOUR STORY IN A WAY THAT IT NEVER HAS BEFORE.
MY STORY
GROWING UP IN THE NAPA VALLEY, I SPENT YEARS HIKING THROUGH THE HILLS AND VINEYARDS THAT DOT THE MAYACAMAS AND VACA RANGE. IN FACT, IT WOULD TAKE 8 YEARS OF COLLEGE AND WORK IN CHICAGO BEFORE I WOULD RETURN TO NAPA AND FOCUS ON THE VALLEY FLOOR.
WHILE LIVING IN CHICAGO I FIRST PICKED UP A CAMERA. SURROUNDED BY BARS AND CLUBS, I STARTED PHOTOGRAPHING THE NIGHTLIFE. MY GOAL WAS TO CAPTURE THE BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS THAT EXIST AMIDST THE DEBAUCHERY, THE SMALL FLASHES OF PURE EMOTION THAT WOULD EMERGE UNDETECTED.
THE IMAGE BELOW WAS ONE OF THE FIRST I CAPTURED.
RETURNING TO NAPA I TRANSITIONED TO WORKING WITH FILM AND MOVING IMAGES. THE ABILITY TO CAPTURE SOMEONE'S STORIES IN THEIR OWN WORDS BECAME MORE AND MORE IMPORTANT. I FOUND MYSELF WORKING WITH 95+ POINT RATED WINERIES, MICHELIN CHEFS, AND LAUDED GRAPE GROWERS AND VINTNERS RATHER QUICKLY. I ATTRIBUTE IT ENTIRELY TO ONE RULE WHICH GUIDES THE WORK I DO:
LET PEOPLE TELL AND SHOW YOU WHO THEY REALLY ARE.
If you've got a story to tell, I'd love to help you bring it to life. Let's chat and see if we're a good fit for each other!
