About Me

Headshot_edited_edited.jpg

I am a portrait and nature photographer based in Madrid, Spain. Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, I grew up inspired by its natural beauty, diversity and innovation. For over 11 years, I have photographed portraits of friends and family, landscapes, events, church life, and more.

 

At first I pursued modeling, but then became more interested in the other side of the camera. As a result, I foster a comfortable and collaborative relationship with my model. My priority is understanding the client and their vision. I am passionate about helping creatives, educators, and entrepreneurs represent themselves and their unique talents through portraiture.

Artist Statement

Through photography, I express my love and passion for people, art and nature. I create in order to discover and share the hidden beauty and truth of my subjects. I gravitate towards what is natural, authentic, and interesting. My photography embraces natural light, patterns, warm colors and organic curves. I find meaning in the moment of seeing, savoring, feeling, and drawing near to form a deeper relationship to people, God and the world around me. My mission is to capture the unique, divine spark of creation and its inherent worth and significance. The act of creating is a spiritual practice with the profound effect to heal, transform and restore humanity in the face of brokenness and darkness. May my photography serve to remind you to slow down, pay attention, and marvel in awe and wonder.
