My default shooting and edit styles are closer to documentarian/editorial photography than they are to pictorial/expressive photography. I focus on capturing an accurate picture of what is happening as opposed to taking an artistic liberty via dramatic composition or color edits. My primary goal is not solely to compel the viewer with an arresting visual, but rather to insert them into the perspective of the scene as if they were there.

That being said, I often can’t help slipping in a bit of drama every now and then.

I’m sort of very bad at keeping this Instagram account up to date (I have a pretty big backlog of photos to post), but I wanted to share a few photos I took last year of some dear friends of mine. This is Freddy A small sample of a recent sweet 16 photo shoot, feat. @fallon.hope!

#maternityphotography #indoorph A few more fun shots from Cio and Vichida’s engagement event from last weekend, including a couple neat detail shots of the décor! If you want to see the full shoot, it will be available for viewing later today at my website, under &ldqu Over the weekend, I got to shoot a pretty fun collab with @lifestyle.healthfitness featuring a handful of guest appearances from people all over Solano County. Plus, we had a bit of fun (because all work should be all play)! Check out the final video Some of you know that my main career is being a professional writer in San Francisco, so it may not come as a surprise that the moment I touched a camera, I fell in love with its uncanny ability for telling a story through a series of pictures. These Something I’ve learned by shooting with @lifestyle.healthfitness on a recurring basis is that fitness people are some of the most positive, genuine, and easy-going people to work with. We recently did a collaboration project with @theofficialbu Ask any photographer, and they’ll tell you that one of the hardest things to shoot well is low-light events. Even harder to do is low-light action shots. Here are a few shots from @klainey’s cotillion that involved capturing a moment in m More from the photo shoot of the four founding members of the @lifestyle.healthfitness team.
