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.

These past...

Some advice:
When your life gets really crazy — so crazy you are literally confusing your right with your left and working way too many hours a day — the best medicine? A new pair of shoes and a bubblegum pink camera. It’s really that simple.

{portaits} fly kicks, lovely ladies

When a group of super awesome ladies ask if you’d be up for a shoot revolving around some super fly kicks, you say yes.
