Hi! I’m a lifestyle, portrait and underwater photographer. My style is very whimsical, bold, with lots of color. I express storytelling through concepts, often inspired by a specific location, prop or wardrobe. I’m passionate about branding and working with others to create the perfect marketing imagery for personal or business endeavors. I also shoot with several families, couples, kids and pets, as well as professionals in the health and wellness and pet industries.
My love for underwater photography started about 11 years ago when I found my studio, pool, and home all in one place in the east bay. Having access to a black bottom heated pool and sunny backlight gave me the ability to try something new and create imagery that appeared surreal, dark, and beautiful, with rays of light piercing through, like an ocean environment. I’m naturally attracted to water as I am a Pisces, a water sign. I love being underwater and connecting with just my camera and subject, in a peaceful weightless environment.
I grew up in the area, I love finding the perfect location! I graduated from the Academy of Art in San Francisco with a MFA in Photography and my background before photography was in producing, retouching, marketing and brand management. I’m alway thinking of branding and telling your story.
If you are interested in a portrait, lifestyle or underwater session, please send me a note, I’d love to work with you! Available for travel. Images are also available for prints and licensing.
