Robots!
As a Napa photographer, I get to photograph some beautiful things in beautiful places. For example, last week I got to photograph a robot. Yes!

I’m a Napa Valley photographer with a deep-rooted connection to this place, its people, and the wine industry that defines it. Having lived and worked in Napa for over 36 years, my approach to photography is shaped not only by a passion for visual storytelling, but by firsthand experience inside the world of wine.
Before becoming a full-time photographer, I spent nearly two decades working within some of Napa Valley’s most respected wineries. I began at Domaine Chandon, where I spent five years leading private sales and marketing tours—an experience that gave me an early appreciation for hospitality, brand storytelling, and the importance of creating memorable guest experiences.
From there, I joined Sullivan Vineyards as Director of Hospitality, where I further refined my understanding of luxury service and how wineries connect with their audience in meaningful, lasting ways. I then spent ten years at St. Supéry Estate Vineyards and Winery, managing their direct-to-consumer program. During that time, I developed a strong background in marketing, customer engagement, and brand development—skills that continue to influence how I approach photography today.
In 2012, I made the decision to pursue photography full-time, combining my creative vision with my industry knowledge to serve Napa Valley wineries in a more impactful way. That background allows me to understand not just how something should look, but why it matters—whether it’s capturing the intensity of harvest, the quiet beauty of vineyard rows at sunrise, or the craftsmanship behind a bottle.
Today, I specialize in luxury winery photography, working with brands to create elevated, cohesive imagery that reflects their identity and story. With a studio located in downtown Napa and the ability to work seamlessly on-site, I provide both controlled production and natural, in-the-field authenticity.
Outside of work, my life is centered around my family. I’ve been married for over 20 years, and we’re raising two incredible kids—a six-year-old daughter and an eleven-year-old son—who keep life busy, fun, and always inspiring. Our home wouldn’t be complete without Dobby, our large yellow dog, who brings plenty of personality (and energy) into the mix.
Living in Napa Valley for most of my life has given me a genuine appreciation for its rhythm, its seasons, and the people who make this region so special. That perspective carries into every project I take on. I’m not just documenting wineries—I’m helping tell the stories of a place and an industry I truly know and love.

Photography in general is fun. I mean, maybe not for everyone, but if you are a photographer, it should be fun, or you are doing

I was going back through some images from last year, attempting to cull images that I won’t (hopefully) evert need. It’s not a fun process,
