Light has so many different qualities and characteristics -
I use it to shape the scenery and subjects I'm photographing.

I photograph people - brides, grooms, families, friends, & anyone in love.
My photography is devoted to the relationships between people & the small, meaningful moments that make up everyday life.
I capture all this on film because of the nostalgic, luminous qualities it brings to my work.
I shoot Kodak Professional films because they perfectly translate how I see the world and they bring a warmth and luminosity to my images. No matter what kind of light I'm shooting in, their film brings consistency and beauty to my work.
I was raised in northern California, studied fine art, documentary photography, & portraiture, & have traveled all over the world putting my cameras to good use.
San Francisco has been my home for 15 years & I’m lucky to share it with my whip-smart guy, Craig & our beautiful baby boy, Elio.
We have a home filled with photos, music & books, a giant cat named Hazmo, & lots of gorgeous natural light.
Photography has been my full-time profession for over 10 years & my most fulfilling artistic expression for even longer.
