Rachelle




Fall is the time for Senior Portraits and I really look forward to it.  It's an opportunity for me to meet interesting young people and make a beautiful record of them at a vital time in their life.  I see portrait photography as a collaboration between myself and the subjectI am very open to ideas as far as location, clothing and special interests the student might have.  I want the student's personality to shine brightly through and our time together to be relaxed and fun.

I wanted to show you Rachelle's senior portrait because I think it showcases many things.  I love how 3-dimensional these pictures are of her personality, and how they represent an honest and vibrant portrait of a wonderful young woman.  The setting is also spectacular.  Humboldt County is not lacking for great outdoor locations.

Welcome

I was never interested in doing things like everyone else.
My camera's lens is a mirror to those looking into it.
I want it to show them how beautiful they are.


At its most basic, my portraiture is about capturing people at their best.
