I have been working with the Sutter Health System for quite some time now, and it has been a wonderful relationship.  They originally hired me to take photographs for their library, but the gig has turned into so much more.  I have had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful physicians from all across northern California, and to see them with their patients.  I am inspired by the passion they have for their work, and the compassion they show their patients.

I have made it my own personal mission to capture the closely knit relationship that grows between a physician and her patient (or his…)  I say that because my wife is a physician!  Telling this story can be challenging in the sterile environment of an operating room, but I use certain angles, compositions, and lighting to my advantage.

I was fortunate to be invited to photograph a brain surgery –I changed into scrubs and everything.   You can see me make a cameo appearance with camera in hand!  It was an inspiring day.

No matter what the environment, no matter what the challenge, I always find a way to capture people’s personalities, and their intimate connection.  This is the job of a photographer –not only do I capture life’s most exciting moments, but also the mundane and sometimes frightening moments as well.  It is in the times of trouble where people’s true self surfaces, and it is in these times when doctors and nurses become our closest allies and companions.  I think I have captured Sutter Health System’s passion for healthcare, and compassion for their patients.
