ABOUT
Welcome to my photography world! I'm thrilled to connect with you and tell you a little more about my passion for photography & videography. As a professional photographer based in Northern California, I understand the importance of capturing life's most precious moments for you and your loved ones.
Family holds a special place in my heart too. With a loving wife and two beautiful babies of my own and another on the way, I recognize the significance of those bonds and the joy they bring. It's my utmost pleasure to deliver a gallery that you will absolutely love, filled with memories that will be treasured for a lifetime.
When it comes to my style, I believe in capturing moments as they truly are – relaxed, authentic, and real. I want you and your loved ones to feel comfortable being yourselves in front of the camera. I'll go the extra mile to make you laugh, smile, and create those genuinely happy photos that reflect your unique personalities.
There's a quote by Edward Steichen that resonates deeply with me: "A portrait is not made in the camera but on either side of it." It reminds me that the connection between photographer and client is what truly brings a photograph to life. I genuinely hope that you'll feel that connection with me as your photographer, as I am truly honored to share in your joyous moments.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for taking the time to connect with who I am and what I do. It means the world to me. I pray that I have the opportunity to work with you very soon, to capture beautiful memories together and create photographs that will forever hold a special place in your heart.
Let's embark on this incredible journey together and create timeless treasures.
HOW I GOT STARTED
From that very first snap at Ellis Lake to the excitement of delivering galleries to my clients, photography has always held a special place in my heart. It all started when my mom handed me a camera at the age of 6, and to my surprise, I captured a beautiful moment of my parents. Their words of encouragement ignited a spark of joy and pride within me that still burns bright today.
In high school, I dove headfirst into photography class, armed with my trusty Canon digital camera. Though I struggled with traditional academics, I found my true passion behind the lens. Little did I know, that failed class was just a detour on my path to becoming a photographer.
Fast forward to my own wedding day, where we had an incredible time with a photographer we loved. However, the excitement quickly turned to disappointment when she vanished into thin air, leaving us waiting and wondering. It took six long years and my mom's persistence to finally retrieve our lackluster photos.
That experience was a turning point. I realized that no one should endure what my wife and I went through. Determined to provide a better experience, I embarked on a journey of self-improvement and equipped myself with the best mirrorless camera available at the time.
Today, as a professional photographer, I pour my heart and soul into every shoot, capturing genuine and unforgettable moments for my clients. I want to ensure that your memories are preserved beautifully and that you never have to endure the disappointment we once faced.
So, join me on this adventure. Let's create a story worth telling and capture moments that will make you smile for a lifetime. Trust in my dedication, passion, and commitment to providing you with exceptional photography experiences. Together, we'll make sure that your special moments are celebrated and cherished forever.
