Inspired by a fellow photographer, I’m starting 2026 by actually saying my goals out loud. I want to be able to look back and clearly see the effort — the steps taken, the risks tried, the growth earned. This year is about being intentional, showing up, and putting in the work to move my dreams forward!

Merry Christmas ✨
This season is a beautiful reminder of the birth of Christ and the love, hope, and joy He brings into the world. It’s also a time to cherish the moments we share — the laughter, the hugs, the traditions, and the people we hold close.

Thank you for inviting me into your stories this year. I’m endlessly thankful for each of you.
Wishing you a Christmas filled with warmth, peace, and meaningful moments.

"How do you shoot in the dark or dim rooms without a flash?"

It's one of the most common questions I get, especially when photographing live events or Sunday worship.

The short answer: a fast lens + a camera with killer ISO performance.
The long answer:👇

I shoot with a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, which handles high ISO like a champ — meaning I can push the sensitivity without drowning in noise. Combine that with a fast lens (usually shooting with a low f-stop between f/1.8 and f/3.2), and suddenly, even the dimmest light becomes usable.

Also - they translate beautiful to black and white images keeping the intimacy of the moments themselves.

Golden hour magic at Old Poway Park ✨🌿

This couple’s session was everything I love about photography — soft light, real connection, and a setting full of charm and nostalgia. Old Poway Park gave us those warm, timeless backdrops that made every frame feel like a scene from a love story. From the vintage train cars to the sun-drenched trails, these two made every moment golden. 💛

San Diego, you never disappoint.
