BEHIND THE LENS

 

I'm a semi-retired photographer, Navy Veteran, and Twitch streamer who was raised in Oakland, California. Now focusing on collaboration for the love of photography, bringing a passion that began when I was just 14 years old.

​

Growing up in Oakland and throughout the Bay Area, I discovered my creative passion for photography while taking pictures and editing for my high school yearbook and school newspaper. Though life took me in different directions—including joining the Navy, attending college, and traveling for 24 years—my passion for photography reignited in 2018. Since then, I have pursued it professionally with great success.

​

My work has been featured in Dreamy Magazine, Dezire Magazine, Pacific Northwest Modeling Magazine, Cosplayzine, and more. I've also collaborated with notable clients like the City of Seattle, Microsoft, Seattle Pride, Chance Fashion, Emerald City Comic Con, and Geek Girl Con. Being on the autism spectrum, I values finding peace and balance. Before shoots, I often take time to recharge, stepping away from social media and focusing on my children, immediate family, or my creative hobbies like Twitch streaming.

​

In addition to photography, I enjoys streaming his editing process, playing video games, and working on art. Sports, editorial and portrait photography remain my favorite genres, and now semi-retired, I am eager to explore more collaborative projects driven purely by my passion for the art of photography.
