With over 20 years of experience behind the lens, I’ve dedicated my career to capturing meaningful moments and creating visuals that truly connect. As a photographer, I bring stories to life through impactful imagery. As a mentor, I’m passionate about guiding photographers to turn their creative dreams into successful, thriving businesses.
ONCE UPON A TIME
Life has a funny way of proving you wrong. Fresh out of school, I was full of excitement, dreams, and a little bit of naivety. But the real world showed me what it truly meant to chase a passion. I took every opportunity that came my way, navigating the hustle of Los Angeles and the bright lights of New York City. It wasn’t easy, but those cities shaped me in ways I’ll forever be grateful for.
I learned the people, the business, and the art of capturing moments that matter. More importantly, I discovered how to connect with others and tell their stories through my lens. Eventually, I returned home to my roots, bringing everything I’d learned to my community.
Now, I proudly serve businesses throughout the Central Valley—helping them tell their stories, build their brands, and create visuals that make an impact.
