About
Every photoshoot is different and thus completely customizable to what you want. My camera is just a tool that I have mastered, its my bubble personality and non-stop bad jokes you should be worried about. I have been doing this for over 10 years and love any chance to photograph something new. Everybody deserves quality photography a few times in life. Let me show you what I can do.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Hello! I try to keep my photography sessions quick and easy. We make a plan to meet, then we have a fun and happy photo session where I capture high-quality photos that you're so in love with it that it makes you briefly consider a career switch to modeling because you're just straight-fire at this point. Then we trade some money, and I deliver your digital edits within a few days for smaller sessions and a few weeks for larger events. And then you call me in 6 months because it was so fun you want to do it again!
I support and love all my LGBTQ+ friends and welcome all Races, Sizes, and Faces to dance and laugh and pose in front of my lens. Doggies welcome too.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been a professional photographer for 13 years and love it. I still take online photography/art classes because I like learning and experimenting. I also have a great network of creative friends and we send each other the best tik-toks full of photo tips and ideas.
What types of customers have you worked with?
Oh gosh, I've done all sorts of photography at this point. Ive done destination weddings in and out of the country, and photographed celebrities, done behind-the-scenes photography for the film industry in LA, and covered large swanky events. I have also covered smaller weddings, and easy breezy portrait sessions on the beach. I'm great with kids and spent a few years doing just newborn and family photography. Who doesn't love taking pictures of a fresh tiny baby? My skills are very adaptable and transferrable to different situations.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Hire somebody fun and not so serious. The era of serious stuffy family photos is over. Plan a fun beach day and invite me out for the first 90 minutes.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
Just do a good amount of snooping around and make sure their photos have a consistent feel and brightness to them. Its ok to try out different photographers each year. Its like finding a good therapist, you want to find the right one for you :) You deserve those good vibes. :)
