Passion for photography runs in the family, and Chris is no exception. From the moment he captured his first image as a teenager, Chris has been fascinated with the discipline. His interests initially focused on nature, landscape and wildlife photography, but photographing people followed closely behind.

Chris has forever been a student of natural history. A California native, Chris spent his entire childhood gaining exposure to the diverse terrain California has to offer. His early years were spent in the Sierra Nevada foothills surrounding Oroville and Quincy. From there he experienced the only part of snow country that southern California has to offer that is Big Bear City. Beautiful San Diego was next, to be followed by the alpine community of Mt. Shasta in the extreme northern part of the state. His college years exposed him to the urban beauty of the Bay Area, after which he settled down in the river city of Sacramento. This exposure has helped Chris develop a deep appreciation for all things natural.

Wedding and portrait photography requires a strong interpersonal adaptive skill. Chris genuinely enjoys working and interacting with people. He works to ensure their expectations are exceeded; client satisfaction is his ultimate goal. With the move to digital technology, being technically savvy is no longer a bonus, it's a requirement. Chris personally creates your heirloom images in his digital darkroom.

With the continued evolution of digital photography, it is important to remain at the cutting edge of what is available. Chris uses high end digital SLR equipment from Canon and he upgrades to newer technology as necessary.
