ABOUT
I was born and raised in Southern California. I am a Los Angeles based photographer. I specialize in event/portrait photography. I’ve worked as a set photographer for The McHenry Trial (short) & Bank Greenwood (commercial) with Jessie Williams shot in Inglewood, Ca. I don’t just take pictures I like to capture the moments and create art along with lasting memories. I’ve shot freelance for KJLH radio since 2017 capturing all the major events.

I have over half a decade of experience working in this field and have seen firsthand how the challenges and opportunities have evolved over the years. I’ve photographed large events, live stage plays, BTS on Sets and more which I feel will help a lot in this role. I enjoy shooting behind the scenes, and movie sets, I research projects to get a feeling that the photos should portray. I’m always looking for new challenges and ways that can help me do my job even better.
