California Commercial & Portrait Photographer

With over 15 years of experience in photography, graphic design, and art direction, I bring a strategic blend of artistry and marketing insight to every project. My career began in graphic design at a small agency in Iowa, where I quickly became fascinated by how photography could enhance my design work. This fascination turned into a passion, leading me to transition fully into photography.

For four years, I led brand imaging at Taylor Guitars, crafting visuals for a globally recognized brand and photographing Grammy award-winning artists. My work has been published worldwide, from product photography to lifestyle imagery that tells a compelling story.

My approach is simple: I believe in collaboration and clear communication. I work closely with creative teams to build detailed shot lists and mood boards, ensuring the vision aligns with the client’s brand and goals. Whether I’m shooting a product or a portrait, I thrive on creating images that balance bold creativity with purpose-driven strategy. Lighting, color, and contrast are key elements I use to tell stories that resonate.

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me spending time with my family or riding through Southern California on my Triumph Thruxton cafe racer. Photography and design may be my professional focus, but staying grounded in family and personal passions keeps my creative fire going.
