Turning a Hobby into a Profession
As with many professional photographers, John’s love of photography started out at a young age while working in his fathers darkroom. John became the first yearbook photographer for Petaluma Junior High School. He took his first photography class in high school while attending Petaluma High School. It was 1984 and John was a freshman. He was soon referred to as the “photo guy” throughout school and worked on the both the yearbook and newspaper staffs.
On the Personal Side…
In addition to photography, John loves the outdoors. He loves to do camping, hiking, boating, teach, travel, cooking and spend quality time with his wife Alisa and daughter Christina. John, Alisa and Christina are a Disney family, so you can find them down at Disney quite often.
It’s John’s passion to celebrate and portray the uniqueness of every person that he photographs, to reveal the heart and soul of a child, or the love,closeness and relationship of a family in a way that no one else can. John cares about his work with a true artist’s passion. His trademark portraits with their unique blend of dramatic artistry and meticulously hand crafted finishes are created to be pieces of art.
