Your Bio

I took my first photos when I was about 4 years old and have been at it ever since. Besides learning from experience, I received a formal education at Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, California, graduating in December 1974. My major was portraiture, but my real love has always been photographing birds and bugs. I have a great reverence for all living things and love capturing these creatures in their natural enviornment. I always hope that someone may see one of my images and have their consciousness raised, regarding the beauty and sanctity of all living things.

I also love to capture images for historical purposes. Preserving a moment in time, as it were; a scene, an event or just a moment in someone's journey on earth. That is why I love photographing weddings. It is one of the most important, emotional days of anyone's life and I shoot it as though it were a movie; from beginning to end so that one can see the energy and emotion building throughout the day.

Hope you enjoy looking. Feel free to buy anything you like. I greatly encourage you to do so. If you require special assistance with print quantities or sizes or are simply looking for an event photographer, contact me at : gee@whidbey.com. Thanks for looking.
