Since Covid has a tight grip on us here in California, I am at home - A LOT! I've been working to be more active and present on social media. One of my goals is to be able to connect with non-profits and put my photographs to good use. I'd like to partner with advocates and donate...

My work as a photographer has always been somewhat of a private journey. I am self-taught with the camera and Photoshop. I've specialized in landscape and fine art photography since the early 2000's. You might have seen my work in publications or on display in exhibitions on the Central Coast of California. This was all accomplished while...

June is Migraine Awareness Month! 

As a long time sufferer of chronic migraines I have supported Miles for Migraine and their efforts to raise funds for migraine research, as well as bring much needed awareness to this issue.

At this point in California we were about a good two and a half weeks in to sheltering in place. Many people seemed to have different ideas of what that meant. Personally, I had given up...

So excited to have one of my photographs published by Visit Santa Cruz! 

If you haven't checked them out, Visit Santa Cruz is a great resource for all things Santa Cruz. They have everything from where to get the best brew, historical sites, film, food, fun in the sun, and where to stay. My photo, Monarch Butterfly Forest was featured in their Traveler's Guide as well as on their blog for things to see when you're out exploring nature in Santa Cruz. 

My new website update fourleafphotos.com has finally launched! I'm so excited because I have been working, better known as procrastinating, for the better part of a year. I finally found my inspiration again, and have been putting the finishing touches on over the last couple months. It has become a real labor of love for me.
