Greater Los Angeles Area
I am a visual storyteller with an emphasis on editorial, and aspire to shoot more in the advertising arena. My work is geared towards clients who want authentic moments portrayed. My work focuses primarily on portraits. I am comfortable both in the studio and on location. My approach aligns with my fine art background, and I shoot through the lens with a documentary point of view.
Specialties: Photoshop, Lightroom, Bridge, Capture One, Extensive lighting and retouching

Photography Professor
I was in charge of teaching year round classes to college level students, including but not limited to; Introduction to Photography, Survey of Photography, Advanced Digital Darkroom, Digital Image Management, Portraiture, 4x5 View Camera, and Business of Photography. I was in charge of planning and organizing each class to meet the school objectives. I gave weekly assignments and led group critiques. Students left my classes with a greater knowledge of photography, lighting, digital management and prepared to start a photography business. I also contributed to the restructuring of the Associates and Bachelor programs.
Photography Professor
I teach Introduction to Digital Photography. Students are taught everything from how to use their cameras to digital management, photoshop, group critique, and come away from the class with a portfolio.
I volunteered over 100 hours to the Ronald McDonald House in Loma Linda, California. I did everything from cleaning, cooking, organizing, event planning, and anything else that would help the families stay easier, during a very difficult time in their lives.
