Tyler Chartier
Curious. Obsessive. Passionate.
Commercial photographer/director by day + father by night. For work, Tyler shoots architecture, products and people for local and national companies – and he shoots almost anything for fun. Combining a passion for the process of photography with intense curiosity, Tyler helps his clients tell stories to create strong connections with their people.
When he’s not telling stories with his camera, Tyler spends as much time as he can with his wife and two boys. Together they love hiking, making music, backpacking, theater, and building things.
You’ll run into Tyler around town in Petaluma, San Francisco and New York – but you’ll see his biggest smile if you cross paths with him outside in one of Sonoma County’s amazing parks or on the Tomales Bay.
Peggy Kinstler – Image Retoucher
Peggy has also struggled with an addiction to photography throughout her life. Retouching for professional photographers has been a natural outcome of her love of the photographic process, her deep understanding of the intricacies and problems photographers face, and how Photoshop can help bring the photographer’s vision to the final photograph.
Peggy has also published an art magazine for 20 years, interviewing countless artists about their painting, sculpture, drawing, etc. This experience has honed her ability to listen to an artist and understand his vision. As a retoucher, she understands the artist-photographer and how to use Photoshop to move his raw photo closer to what is in his mind’s eye.
