Photo Hikes
My photo hikes are more than just a walk with a camera—they’re an immersive journey into the heart of Joshua Tree’s desert magic. Surrounded by iconic rock formations, rugged landscapes, and endless skies, you’ll learn to see the world with fresh eyes. With my guidance, you’ll sharpen your skills, expand your creativity, and return home with both unforgettable images and a deeper connection to nature.
Lightroom Classes
In my Lightroom classes, you’ll learn how to post-process and enhance your RAW images, improve your Lightroom workflow, and how to manage your Lightroom photo library and back-up images. With supportive feedback from both myself and fellow participants, you’ll leave motivated, confident, and ready to bring more artistry into your photography. This isn’t just a class—it’s a chance to grow your vision in a collaborative, encouraging environment.
Online Mentoring
Our journey doesn't have to end when you leave the park. My online mentoring sessions are not one-size-fits-all; they are customized to your needs, from improving your composition to post-processing techniques. I believe in mentoring with empathy and encouragement, ensuring you feel valued and understood as I help you unlock your creative potential in a supportive environment.
Fine Art Prints
Want to bring the beauty of the outdoors into your home or office? Check out my fine art prints. You can choose from various finishes, such as giclée, metal, or acrylic, and we offer a range of sizes to suit your space. Each piece comes with a signed certificate of authenticity, ensuring you own a one-of-a-kind artwork.
A Bit More About Me
I've been passionate about photography since I first picked up a camera at the age of 14. Over the years, I've honed my craft, blending technical precision with creative expression. As a former aerospace engineer, I appreciate photography's technical and artistic aspects and bring that balance to every shoot.
When I'm not behind the camera or leading landscape photography workshops, I'm likely hiking or volunteering with organizations that support our wilderness, like the Joshua Tree National Park Association's Desert Institute or Nature First. I firmly believe that photographers are responsible for protecting the environments we capture, ensuring future generations can enjoy these landscapes as much as we do.
You're in the right place if you're looking for adventure, knowledge, and a sprinkle of humor. Whether you join one of my photography workshops , a photo hike, or dive into my mentoring sessions, you'll leave with a sense of accomplishment and some stunning shots to prove it. This sense of empowerment and the lovely photographs you'll create will motivate you to continue your photography journey.
I look forward to helping you improve your photography!
