The rows and rows of family photo albums in our living room attest to my earliest interactions with photography, the obliging subject of my father's snapshots. By age ten, I was playing with my dad's manual SLR, learning how to turn the lens until the two halves of the circle matched in sharpness.

My love for photography developed rapidly. By sophomore year of college, I took a summer's worth of waitressing wages and purchased my own digital SLR, cementing an investment in something that had grown from a simple hobby to an inextricable part of my life. To me, photography is a mode of exploration, a means of expression, and a beautiful way of experiencing the world, and I hope to share that with you.

Today, I am a wedding, portrait, and event photographer based in Oakland, California, serving the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. I specialize in natural, relaxed sessions that bring out the personality and uniqueness of my subjects. I am constantly inspired by natural lighting, interesting surroundings, and the people who come into my life.
