I grew up where the land meets the sea — somewhere between a cattle ranch and the Pacific Coast Highway. Some of my earliest memories are of riding horses through morning mist while my dad checked cattle, then coming home to the sound of waves crashing on the shore.
That duality shaped everything. The rough beauty of the ranch. The endless blue of the ocean. I learned to see magic in both worlds, and that's exactly what I capture through my lens.
"Photography is the art of frozen time... the ability to store emotion and feelings within a frame."
My first camera was a hand-me-down from my grandmother. She used to photograph everything — her garden, her horses, the way light hit the kitchen table at 4 PM. I didn't understand it then. Now I do.
Every frame is a preservation of something that won't stay. A moment, once gone, can never be recaptured. That's what drives me — the urgency of now, the beauty of fleeting time.
Three principles guide every shoot
Before I pick up my camera, I want to know who you are. Your story shapes every frame. Let's grab coffee (or tea) and chat before we shoot.
Golden hour is my favorite hour. I work with the light that's given, not against it. No studio strobes, no artificial setups — just you and the world.
Digital technical perfection isn't my goal. I want images that feel like memories — warm, authentic, timeless. That slightly imperfect quality that takes you back.
