TRAVEL Emphasis on "National Parks" and hometown of Santa Barbara (CA). Worldwide travel includes Spain, Costa Rica, Belize, Baja, Fiji, Solomon Islands, Australia, New Zealand, India, Thailand.

ADVENTURE We are avid hikers, skiers and scuba divers and have our cameras in hand while participating in these activities.

NATURE Deserts to tropics and under the sea. Scenics to closeups. Most of the library comes from nature and it's beauty. Common name, scientific name and habitat are typical of the data we use when cataloging our images to help provide image buyers with accurate identification of the animals and flora photographed.

LIFESTYLE Leaping, running, swimming or just hanging out. Courtney has an eye for capturing people in the act of doing. We provide lifestyle photos of people doing activities they enjoy, which makes the images look natural.

SPECIALTIES We have worked on assignments for many magazines and manufacturers, providing images with their needs in mind. We are capable of working under deadline pressures with direction when required. Underwater photography is James's specialty and he is a qualified scuba instructor and rebreather mixed gas diver with a diving technology education.
