San Francisco Bay Area (and beyond)

timeless, luxe natural light photography that will withstand the test of decades
Past, Present, and Future
I’m a professional photographer based in the Bay Area, but I travel often for photography. I was born and raised in Watsonville and Santa Cruz, California, and I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area in 2013 to study psychology and creative writing at Stanford University. I’m the first in my family to go to college and I graduated in 2017: throughout my college career, I worked as a photographer for Stanford and a professional storyteller thereafter (photography, writing, interviewing), but I’ve been pursuing the craft since 2011. Portraiture is close to my heart: I enjoy capturing the beauty I see in people as well as sharing that with them and the world. I also love traveling, writing, and retreating into nature.
My work has been featured in publications such as Billboard as well as on countless Stanford websites, publications, social media, and campaigns. I’ve photographed high-profile guests and celebrities such as Sterling K. Brown, Tim Cook, Bill Gates, Governor Gavin Newsom, Frank-Walter Steinmeier (former President of Germany), and more. Under the Obama administration, I also won a Congressional art competition and was flown to Washington D.C. to see my self-portrait hung in the Capitol building. I don’t share these things to boast: I just want you to know you’re in good hands.
My priority is getting to know you and capturing the beauty I see in everyone. With my sessions, I strive for you to have a great time and leave feeling more confident and at peace than when you arrived. Thanks for your time and don’t hesitate to reach out with questions.
