Welcome, and thank you for visiting my website! I'm so glad you're here.

My love for photography began in high school, I'd spend nearly every free moment in the darkroom or roaming the halls capturing candid shots. That early fascination with film quickly turned into a lifelong passion and profession.  I officially became a professional photographer in 2004, but the foundation was built long before that, with hands-on learning, experimentation, and endless curiosity.

Since then I've had the incredible opportunity to photograph a wide array of subjects, settings, and stories.  I've worked with Live Nation photographing concerts for many artists including Carlos Santana, Steve Miller band, Nine Inch Nails, Soundgarden and many more, capturing the raw power and emotion of live music. I've created compelling book covers, author portraits, and album art. My work has appeared in publications such as Thrasher Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Vogue Italia and Style. 

Whether I'm shooting a wedding, a newborn session, a celebrity event, or a serene landscape, I approach each project with the same care and creative spirit. I help clients with styling, lighting, and location planning to ensure they feel confident, comfortable, and excited. I travel with professional DSLR and film cameras, lighting gear, and all the tools needed to bring any vision to life and I'm always ready for the next adventure. 

Beyond the camera, I've lived and worked internationally in cities like Milan, Rome, London and Switzerland. These experiences have helped shape not only my creative eye but also my deep appreciation for culture, connection, and storytelling.  I also donate my time and skills to volunteer causes, including photographing inclusive events for individuals with special needs and creating calendars to help shelter animals find forever homes.

When I'm not behind the lens, I'm usually riding my mountain bike, playing the drums, singing, cooking or organizing something (I find joy in the little things!). But most often, you'll still find me with a camera in hand because there's always another beautiful story waiting to be told.

Let's create something amazing together. I'd be honored to help capture your story, your joy, and you one-of-a-kind moments.

With gratitude,
