Such a beautiful connection

I’m so honored that I got to work with such an amazing company in the industry!! And SO excited to announce that after almost 9 years of passionately loving this art and learning and gathering as much knowledge (and equipment) as I can to provide you with the best images, I am finally taking the plunge into Full Time Photography. I have been managing a photography team that I will miss more than words can describe, but I’m ready to dive into the freelance world and give you ...100% of my schedule and energy, and to be able to offer more extensive Video services as well. I truly couldn’t be more excited and I hope you’ll keep me in mind for your photo needs! Even if you aren’t able to book a photoshoot for yourself at this point in time, I offer cash referall bonuses if you share this with your friends and family that may need updated headshots or family photos or a photographer for an upcoming wedding or event. If they book a shoot, you get paid! I’m so grateful for your endless support and love I can’t wait to start sharing more of my art with you and hanging out with you guys to capture some beautiful memories!

Hello, it's been a while! To all my past and future clients I just wanted to jump on here and say that I'm so grateful for your support and the sweet messages and outpouring of love through these times. I am so blessed to be able to do what I love and although this quarantine has been a big bump in the road and a challenge financially for freelance creatives, I'm more excited than ever to jump back into creating with you all and capturing your next memories as we transition back to normalcy as much as we can. Photography has been approved for the state of California and I can't wait to see all of your beautiful faces again! Message me to chat about booking any upcoming events or portraits

Got this sweet email last night from a client and had to share. I’m so grateful I get to work with such amazing people! I appreciate every one of you who supports me in doing what I love and creating art and lasting memories

Henry Wrapped up the last shoot of 2019 on Christmas Eve with a musician duo! Excited to deliver this gallery

A little before and after of a fun project I did last week I get a lot of messages about gear and what I recommend to start shooting with, and the best thing is whatever you have!! I've shot some of my favorite photos on a $20 camera and some of my most boring with a $6,000 setup. ... This photo was taken with a vintage lens I got off ebay for $30. The manual focusing and unique lens build made it so much fun to shoot with! Not bad for a 50 year old film lens See more
