About Me

I’m an Oakland based photographer, music producer, drummer, and artist. I moved to the Bay Area 13 years ago from the East Coast and fell in love on first sight.

I am half of the live band and production duo Modern Future ™, teach one-on-one music lessons (drums, guitar, production), cook a lot of vegan food, and genuinely try to be the change I want to see in the world.

I love how photography gives me the opportunity to see so many sides of culture! Whether it’s a nightclub, wedding, studio shoot, concert, or location based adventure, I’m always showing up with a fresh mindset to make sure I capture the best of what’s possible to see while I visit your world.

I strive to keep my photo-shoots stress free, chill, fun, and help people relax and enjoy the process. I can help with guidance for poses, set/location ideas, but also don’t get in the way of what comes out naturally.

I’m a very inclusive person and value you trusting me to capture you when you are at your most vulnerable. I want to help you feel empowered, beautiful, seen, heard, and proud of the artwork we create together!
