I bring a dynamic background that blends experiences as a former model, portrait and fashion photographer, graphic designer, and art director. Each chapter of my journey has shaped the tailored photographic experience I now offer to my clients.

​

I graduated from Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara in 2003, earning a degree in commercial advertising. Brooks was renowned for its rigorous curriculum, blending technical mastery with creative artistry. During my time there, I developed a deep understanding of lighting, composition, and every aspect of the photographic process both past, using the darkroom, and present, with digital photography. The hands-on approach and mentorship from industry professionals prepared me to excel in a highly competitive field and laid the rock solid technical groundwork for my creative vision.

​

After graduating, I had the privilege of working at one of the largest advertising agencies, collaborating with some of the world’s most recognizable brands. Those seven years were transformative—I worked alongside industry-leading creatives, refining my talents in large-scale photography shoots, web design, and crafting impactful visuals that tell compelling stories. This experience sharpened my ability to produce stand-out work that resonates with audiences and provided me with invaluable insights into the processes that drive exceptional results.

​

Today, I’ve seamlessly integrated that expertise into my photography, working with families, high school seniors, corporate and personal branding, content creation, engagements, and weddings. My approach goes beyond capturing images; I create art that reflects my clients’ passions, personalities, and lifestyles. Whether it’s celebrating milestones, crafting compelling images for your brand, or preserving life’s most precious memories, my goal is to deliver curated, magazine-worthy photography that authentically represents you and your story.
