welcome.

When I was ten years old, I liked to run around my Los Angeles neighborhood with a disposable camera on a wildlife photography expedition (i.e. taking pictures of cats). While I've strayed away from cat photography and disposable cameras, that adventure and excitement has never left. I'm ecstatic to say that my camera and I still go on expeditions of our own -- sometimes in my own backyard and sometimes far away.


Born and raised primarily in Los Angeles with a wonderful stint in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. I am currently pursuing a BFA in photography at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA. Available for work in Southern California, Oregon and abroad.

You’ve proved that there ARE families who grow their own vegetables and raise their own livestock. Cows really do live in some people’s backyards. And while I fought you long and hard, you won the battle...

Right after landing in Dar es Salaam, we headed straight to Yatima Group Trust Fund, an orphanage that takes care of over 150 children. The welcoming we received getting off of the bus was overwhelming. My camera and I struggled to keep up as the children and staff of YGTF gave us the warmest and...
