“I use my photography to tell stories. I have a deep desire to create spaces where you and your partner can flourish as your authentic selves. From the urban, chic streets of LA - to intimate portraits in my studio, I bring an honest, personalized touch to every photo I take. Afterall, each session is as unique as the love story I am capturing. My background in the arts means I see the world through a creative lens, ensuring your moments are not just pictures, but pieces of art.”

3 words that describe your personal photography style:

Intimate, expressive, adventurous

What makes LA special to you?

Los Angeles is a city of pure potentiality.  It is singular and special to me because it seamlessly blends diverse cultures, stunning landscapes, and endless opportunities for creative expression.

What is your favorite Los Angeles Gem (location, restaurant, dance spot etc)? 

My favorite Los Angeles gem is the natural world of flowers, trees, and wildlife preserved in the gorgeous Arroyo Secco, just around the corner from my backyard in Pasadena.  Its expansive nature offers breathtaking views, serene hiking trails, and a tranquil escape within the bustling city.  This is one of my favorite spots in all of LA.

What do you think is the key to a happy relationship? 

The key to a happy relationship (especially as a newlywed myself) is making each other laugh; being silly and goofy together on the daily, and always practicing open communication, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to growth and adventure together.
