  • Why I marched on January 21st, 2017 along with 2.9 million other people…

    Here is some of what happened the day after Donald Trump was inaugurated president of the United States, after winning the electoral vote, but losing the popular vote by close to three million votes, because of his campaign promises to make America sexist, racist, homophobic, and full of hate again:City officials estimate that 500,000 people…

  • who wants to play next…

    The Sonoma County Economic Board hired me to document the different businesses within Sonoma County for their new website.

  • the most beautiful home birth I almost saw…

    If you asked me how my home birth was, you would not hear me say, “My home birth was beautiful.” Instead I very honestly would tell you, “It was extremely long, incredibly painful and very, very messy. I can understand why drugs were invented and why people take them.” Between endless hours of back-breaking contractions,…

    I am excited to kick off a creative new year with a group photography show at Toby’s Feed Barn in Point Reyes Station… Each photographer was asked to pay “homage” to something and I chose to pay “homage” to the amazing women I have been lucky to photograph. We would love for you to come…

Not only were two books with my photography published this year… (Harvesting Color by Rebecca Burgess.) (Cooking My Way Back Home by Mitchell Rosenthall.) But I also started work on my third book… And I had two photographs…
