My creative journey started when my dad gifted me a DSLR for Christmas my freshman year of high school. It was a Sony a300, and I instantly fell in love with the sound of the shutter, photographing anything and everything that caught my eye.

When I relocated to California as a young adult, I continued to keep my camera close, documenting all of the things that inspired me. Eventually, I began pursuing freelance photo work as a side hustle, until I decided to make it my main career focus in 2019.

Spending the last 7 years doing this full-time has been such a rewarding process. Each and every project, client, and personal capture has given me more sense of purpose than I could have hoped for in a traditional career path. Which allows me to bring a genuine positive energy to all of my shoots.

My clients range from individuals to established brands and businesses. Focusing mainly on the lifestyle, corporate, and hospitality industries.

I align best with those who value and embrace authenticity as well as collaboration. Leaving room to approach every project with a fresh perspective. Fusing together my own expertise with everyone involved, allowing for the most successful results.

Whether it’s the first time you’re working with a photographer, or something you’re experienced with, I’m here to help you take that first or next step.

I’ve learned over the years that capturing the right moment is all about trust, timing, and vulnerability. I bring the same attention to detail to every project, no matter the scale or size.

When it comes to technique, I believe spontaneity is just as important as preparation, so my clients get a bit of both when they work with me. I love utilizing natural light, vibrant colors, and highlighting unexpectedly beautiful moments in my work.

Every inquiry starts with an open conversation to ensure they end with results we’re all proud to share.

I am currently based in San Diego, working regularly in various areas of Southern California & Beyond.

Let’s make some Magic!

I spent the bulk of my adolescence on Oahu, Hawaii, and traveled around the world from a very young age. Which in turn gave me endless amounts of beauty to witness. So once I was given a tool to capture that beauty, I took to it very naturally.

Initially, my work was rooted in the details that could easily go unnoticed by others. I always found myself particularly drawn to the juxtapositions in nature. I would challenge myself to capture even the simplest of subjects in creative ways. I was easily distracted by the complexities of a sunset after it rained, or the reflection in a water droplet.

As I began to spend more time taking photos of people, that curiosity flooded into my portrait work. I’ve always loved giving someone the gift of an authentically beautiful photo of themselves, especially when they least expected it. Which is still such a huge part of my drive as a creative.

I’ve dabbled in almost every realm of photography over the years, and I have a separate appreciation for each one. Whether it’s the texture of a tree trunk, the way the light falls on someone’s face, or the garnish of a delicious cocktail. I know that if I continue to keep my eyes open and my camera close, the world around me will give me beautiful subject matter in perpetuity.
