Focus, is the pulse of photography. Seeing a moment, making an image, telling your story.
Why is this important? Without images of who you are – who you serve and why we need to remember, you are a blank screen.
I create images that fill your screen. They’re powerful, to the point – made in real time, with real people. They are you.
We want to hear you, see you and tell
your story.
Who knew when our world shifted we would shift with it. I offer you her story. A practice. Magical and powerful in the same breath.
A message popped up on my screen. Meditation with Jodie Lea, via Facebook Live. What the hell was this? We had gone into lock down. A pandemic was raging. Meditation?
Many days, Jodie practiced in her yurt. Other days, we followed her digitally into Ponderosa Park, wind blowing, serenity spinning. As the sun set, the singing bowl gradually became silent, bowing our heads, we released hope and peace into our, yours and everyone’s world. Namaste to our humanity.
Photographs show your journey and tell your story.
The world is ready to hear and see you.

This Law Firm epitomized many wonderful attributes of location photography. Most importantly the attorneys were open to ideas, willing to try different poses, locations. Their goal was to show how they work, what they do and more importantly how they function as a highly productive team.
Working with them for a couple of hours, I realized the photographs needed to be about their relationship with one another and their profession. The images reflect the variety available when using location photography to tell your company’s story.
Cashmere Wrapping is a small business which sells high quality scarves, hand crafted in Nepal. When the owner moved to Boise from Seattle – she decided to market her products, using real people, wearing the scarves, in authentic Idaho locations.
Although the photo shoot, was meticulously organized and designed, working on location provided opportunities to bounce around to various locations, making decisions, while pivoting to grab moments which made the difference in showing the elegance of the scarves and the fun when wearing them.
A typical photo shoot for CWI consists of visiting several departments (e.g. Nursing, Culinary, Biology, Computer Science, etc) and thoroughly photographing each department, to keep their media library up to date. These images are used on billboard advertising, media campaigns, social media, etc. We highlight what makes CWI unique and vital as a community educational institution. We capture the story of learning.
The first day of school!
Dawn was breaking. Walking into McCall Donnelly High School – the corridors were quiet and empty.
For many students they were taking their first step into a new beginning – as a freshmen in High School. The bell erupted the silence, quickly replaced by a hustle & bustle of students pouring through the doors – wondering if they would make their first class and if so – if they would find the right class.
Dangling off of their fingers was a small rectangular piece of paper – their daily and weekly schedule – their brick and mortar guide post – of times, teacher’s names and room numbers. Some had smart phones pointed upward – towards the heavens – hoping there was GPS and any other magical app which would get them through their first day without a hiccup.
This is what the ‘first day’ will always represent. A new beginning filled with surprises, challenges and new experiences to always remember.
