Hey there
I can tell a story as good as your Granddad
Hi, Hello
I was born + raised in the mountains of Nevada City, CA.
I've lived in Chico, Santa Cruz, Spain and Topanga Canyon too.
Went to UCSC + CSUC, and studied fine art.
Currently based out of Los Angeles, Monterey/ Santa Cruz + Nevada City/Tahoe, California.
I'm most inspired by the outdoors. When I'm not shooting you can find me surfing, hiking, camping, or road tripping.
Interests are all things outdoorsy nerd including mycology, permaculture and pickling things. Homesteader /photographer is my dream job.
I'm always down for a wild adventure, a creative idea, or an inspired collaboration.
Expertise
My work is a cohesive, unique blend of portraiture+ documentary with a reportage feel, influenced by many afternoons spent reading old nat geo magazines as a kid.
I love photographing in nature. Landscapes inspire my work greatly.
I like to think working with me feels like hanging with a friend. Candid + natural is my jam. No prom poses here, and I promise we will have a good time.
Lover of old and new, I work with both analog + digital formats. Might even pull out my polaroid camera for you.
This job makes me feel like one lucky dog. I pour my whole heart into this process, and I hope you find yourself feelin' that too.
xx

I'm always a fan of meeting in real life. If you're around my neighbood (silverlake) , let's grab coffee (or tacos) and have some real, old fashioned face time.
I am also available Mon-Fri for a complimentary phone call/ skype session to answer any questions.
