With over 30 years of photographic experience ilumus photography understands the value of excellent imagery. With a focus on architecture, interiors, culinary and fine dining—my editorial work—written and photographic—is featured in business, lifestyle, and design publications throughout the West.
As a digital pioneer, I was an early adopter in the high-resolution digital revolution. I shoot state-of-the-art, full-frame Canon cameras, equipped with crystal-clear L glass—and my studio is equipped with enough Macintosh firepower to keep Steve Jobs in German cars for years.
My creativity is founded in collaboration and enlivened through education. An avid researcher with a passion for art and architecture, my preparations include meeting with stakeholders (the earlier the better), site review, orientation, landscape constraints and the minutiae—like knowing when the sun rises and sets. As in life, timing is everything.
An expert in post-production—from print to Internet—I\'m technology savvy, adept in end-use requirements, and fluent in designer-speak. But most importantly, I know how to create stellar photography—on time and within budget—with no headaches.
When you need exceptional imagery, try ilumus.

I received my photography education while serving in the United States Marine Corps. For the past three decades I\'ve traveled extensively, covering and participating in noteworthy events such as the 1985 Women’s Tour de France, the 2001 Australian Paddleboard World Championships, and the 2003 World-Record setting Women’s Full Moon Paddle from Cuba to Key West.
I have the pleasure of working with San Diego\'s best publications and design talent. As a columnist, contributor, and photographer, my work appears regularly in for San Diego Home/Garden Lifestyles magazine, San Diego Magazine, 944, Riviera, Garden Compass, Biz San Diego, Serving San Diego, the San Diego Union Tribune and Northern California’s Inside Surf and Adventure Sports Journal magazines.
This is my gift, I hope you like what I see.
