I have been at this since 2009 and constantly expanding myself in this world. I enjoy making my dream client smile while I capture their photos. I describe myself as warm, caring, and adventurous. I invest in my work like it’s my child, which is fueled by chai and matcha lattes. I am the best of both worlds when it comes to logistics and creativity, so together, you and I will bring wonders to the shoot.

My dream clients tend to be laid back, open minded, and have a sense of humor (even though I am still understanding sarcasm to this day). I perk up every time I meet the client of my dreams, visit a magical venue of their dreams, or bring out genuine smiles. I promise you, we will have a blast and connect. I’m the gal that will listen to you and let you cry on my shoulder because I have no shame in myself anymore, and I care about you.

Do you believe you are awkward or your partner is not a fan of feeling photogenic? No fear! A quick chat over the phone will definitely ease the tension since looking for the right photographer with the personality and work is crucial. Trust I believe I have the right words to say that makes you feel like a warm drink by the fireplace, or the feeling of watching sunsets.

You have now stumbled on a new page where I show you something else I love: Capturing musicians and the lively audience. I get into the groove of the chaos to a point where I reach a meditative state, and I love it so much, it has become a life goal of mine to tour with musicians. Either way, I would freaking love to capture some sick photos/videos. Check out some galleries below for a variety of styles!

SounDivision at The District in Redlands, Ca An obscure style with a moody color palette (blues, “bronze”, greens with a mix of black and white). Some photos with ghostly long exposures and chilling vibes. Check out their indoor studio shots, and outdoor skatepark here and my drone video shot for their song Drifting.

More concert pics at The District featuring Adrian Estrella of Zebrahead, Assuming We Survive and So Last Summer, SounDivision, and more. Same palette as above!

Burning Beard brewery in El Cajon, Ca had an event called Punk Rock Saves Lives. This gallery features Fishing For Chips, a local San Diego Punk Rock band, and this gallery has more of the 90s or 2000s feel with a cool tone palette with some 35mm film photos towards the end. And it’s Christmas themed! Check out their studio shots here too at Right On Studios in Carlsbad, Ca.

Check out the gallery of when I flew to Seattle to capture pics of a band called Designer Disguise. I did a moody outdoor shoot along with some indoor shots of their performance at a venue called Madame Lou’s.

Check out this small album I did of the band Our Last Night in Anaheim, Ca.
