About Me


I’m a photographer residing in Boulder Creek, California. I like to think in terms of “artist with a camera.” Conveying an emotion is usually more important to me than documenting a place and time. Frequently that means hiking for miles to get somewhere remote before sunrise. 


Earning your trust is deeply important. It takes a little while to coax out your authentic self during a session -- and it's worth it.


I occasionally write about photography topics at photofocus.com. You can also follow me on Instagram as @coastalimagesbysean.


I'm available for headshots, portrait sessions, some events, and can come to you.
