I earned my first photography paycheck in 2009, shooting the cover and food photography for Mistress of the Mob Cuisine by Cheril Vendetti. After that, I took on a series of freelance gigs, including working as a contributing photographer for an Orange County magazine covering restaurants and food.

I got a job as an in-house photographer for a women's apparel and fashion conglomerate in 2010. I spent the next 14 years working in the fashion industry, building a career in high-volume, high-expectation studio environments. After getting laid off in 2024, I shifted to full-time freelancing—expecting to stay in fashion. But when most of my bookings turned out to be food shoots, I decided to roll with it and return to where I started.

Now, I shoot for restaurants and various food establishments along the Southern California coast, delivering images that are clean, bold, and built with placement in mind—from packaging and menus to social and print.

Outside of photography, I spend my time outdoors, scuba diving and freediving to explore shipwrecks, underwater canyons, and kelp forests.
