Photography runs in my blood
My father was a photographer, and I grew up around cameras, lights, and studios long before I ever picked one up professionally. That foundation shaped how I work today – technically precise, calm on set, and always focused on expressions that feel real rather than forced.
Over the years, I’ve trained with and learned from some of the most respected photographers in the industry, including Peter Hurley, Lindsay Adler, Joel Grimes, Roberto Valenzuela, Brooke Shaden, Nick Fancher, Peter Coulson, and others. That range of influence allows me to work comfortably across styles, from clean, modern portraits to more cinematic and expressive imagery, depending on the project.
My studio is located in San Juan Capistrano, Southern California – just south of Los Angeles and easily accessible from Orange County and surrounding areas. Clients regularly travel significant distances for a private, dedicated studio experience that’s calm, focused, and removed from the stress of downtown locations.
The studio is fully equipped for both stills and motion work and includes a large-format video wall, a curated wardrobe collection with select pieces from Hollywood productions, and an on-site workshop for building custom props and sets when needed.
Most importantly, my approach centers on direction. I don’t simply pose people – I guide them into expressions that feel confident, natural, and alive. Whether you’re an executive, actor, creative, or performer, the goal is imagery that feels like you on your best day, not a version of yourself that feels manufactured.
Sessions are booked directly through the calendar. Once booked, I’ll personally confirm details ahead of the shoot so everything is dialed in before you arrive. The process is simple, private, and intentional.
