I don't photograph strangers.

I meet people, and then I can't help myself. Give me an hour and a little trust and I will show you a version of yourself you did not know a camera could hold.

I have been making portraits around the San Jose, California for years, in studios and on rooftops, in wildflowers and warehouses. When I have a camera in my hands, I fear nothing. That is the feeling I want to hand back to you.

Whether it is a portrait, an editorial shoot, something joyful, or something quietly bold, we start the same way: with a conversation about how you want to feel. The photographs follow from there.
