Photographer in Oakland, California

I strive to create beautiful portraits that capture my clients’ unique personalities. With a background in photography, art studies, and teaching, I have developed an eye for details and a love for capturing people in a natural and relaxed way. I am a Bay Area native, born and raised. I have also traveled all over the world and seen much art and photography, which has further informed my approach to photography. ​ Some people do photoshoots because they love to be seen. Others do it out of necessity. Still others do it as a gift for themselves or others. And for some, it’s an intensely personal journey. I am with you every step of this journey: from guiding you around clothing, hair and makeup, and posing, you will emerge from your session with photos you love. I approach each shoot relationally - how can I create the best connection possible, so you can relax into being and your authentic self emerge.
