After a stretch in the lovely state of Oregon, I'm thrilled to be back in my favorite state of California, where I previously spent 10 of the best years of my life.

In the Willamette Valley of northern Oregon, I worked for one of the leading real estate photography companies there in a rigorous, high-volume setting. I'm excited to share the efficiency, responsiveness, and professionalism I practiced there, paired with my own style and artistic vision, with the Humboldt, Trinity, Mendocino, Del Norte County markets, and the whole North Coast.

Underlying everything else, I think most important thing in this industry is a strong sense of service for one's clients. I'm looking forward to developing great working relationships, and giving each of you the personal consideration that will let us figure out exactly the style and product you're looking for, and get it to you promptly.


STYLE AND PHILOSOPHY

Photography: No one style or process will be right for all listings and projects. Sometimes you just need a standard set of photos up as quickly as possible—same day, even; we can do that. Other listings really benefit from an extra level of care and consideration; we can go all in on that, too. Being adaptable and figuring out with clients exactly the right approach is another creative and satisfying part of this.


Editing is done in-house. Your media should complement the listing and match your branding. I offer flexible editing styles to suit any needs, from clean and natural daylight photography to the very popular high-contrast, hyperreal style, or anything else in between or out of left field. I'm at your service and it's my own two hands doing the work, so we'll get exactly what you're looking for done and delivered next day.

Videography: The data continues to show that quality video significantly drives listing visibility, buyer engagement, and client acquisition. I practice a cinematic, story-telling narrative style, with intentional shots meant to place the viewer right there in the property—not just informationally, but emotionally and imaginatively. I'm of the firm belief that when done right, a great walkthrough video is more immersive than even the best Matterport or other 3D tour.


Social media video is also increasingly important. I look forward to working with individuals to develop their own unique style and brand for these.


Aerial: I offer a sturdy suite of aerial drone services. Still can't fly in the rain, but even on the windiest days, we'll get all important shots and clips, perfectly. Whether it's showing off the beautiful nature around a property, or a home's proximity to schools, parks and other highlights, I believe aerial almost always adds significant value to a shoot.
