Street Creds

Photographer – My travel photography and photojournalism have been published in newspapers, magazines and books on four continents. Some credits include the National Geographic Daily Dozen, BBC, Globe & Mail, LA Times, Westways Magazine, AARP, Texas Journey and Sierra magazine. My photo from the first San Francisco Women’s March was also selected for the opening two-page spread the Conde Nast Special Commemorative Issue Rise Up! The Women’s Marches Around The World (2017).

My passion for capturing people’s unique personalities and the moments they share continues through my local portrait photography work here in the Bay Area.

Storyteller – My travel writing has won several awards, including Lowell Thomas Awards, Solas Awards for Best Travel Writing from Travelers’ Tales Publishing, and multiple awards from the North American Travel Journalists Association. My most recent guidebook is Hiking with Kids Southern California: 45 Great Hikes for Families (Globe Pequot), which includes 5 of our amazing California national parks among other great places to explore.
