Debi Parola…

I spent my childhood and teenage summers in Santa Cruz. My love of the beach and the small town atmosphere lead me to move to Santa Cruz in 1977. I take pictures to capture “A Slice of Life”.

My ocean sunsets are local Santa Cruz County beaches and the beautiful Island of Maui. For the last 10 years my passion has been skim boarding photography. I travel to all the skim boarding contests in California to capture this exciting sport. Lately my emphasis has been on wildlife photography in and around Santa Cruz County.

I create photo greeting cards and calendars, which can be viewed on my website. Cards are available at Marini’s, Bookshop Santa Cruz, Capitola Book Café, and the Craft Gallery. You can also find them online at www.debiparola.com
