This is your time

Be beautiful, be seen. Time will pass so why not make it yours.

I obsess over making you shine. I am the enemy of lazy shoots, the kind of ‘same style-same look’ old hat I see in every Facebook group and minishoot. The overpriced sales and tired poses. But most of all, I hate the performative aspect of that visual language, that there must be a theater dance of silly online visual norms.

You see, when you come to me you deserve special individual attention unique to realize your dreams. Welcome indelible moments, the kind to only live in memory and in galleries; weddings, proposals/engagements/families/graduations/headshots/parties.

I take good care of my clients, like a true professional and personal shooter should, so pretty please go read my reviews. Former Apple photographer.

I only give personalized quotes because no two shoots are the same in my experience. Based in Davis, Northern California is my home range.

Your time, this time, is mine.
