Michael Cox

Born in Montana, lived in Southern CA and raised in Santa Rosa, I can say there aren't many places nicer than Sonoma County.  It's a beautiful area and can make for inspiring locations for my photography.  From the coast to wine country to small city flare, it's endless with creativity.  I've been in the graphic design business for over 30 years now.  Architectural graphics is what I've done the longest and photography has become a new passion that I'm taking very seriously.  Being able to create beautiful images and capturing a moment in time is special to me.  I've also been very fortunate to meet wonderful people in the process.  Working with people and the common goal that we set out to achieve with each shoot drives and inspires me.
