Award-Winning Natural Light Photography for Weddings & Portraits
With over 16 years of dedicated experience in portrait and wedding photography, I have cultivated a unique approach centered on natural light and authentic moments. My journey began with formal studies under Master Photographer Tamara Trejo and a B.A. in Fine Art from California State University, Hayward, which laid the foundation for my craft. Recognized as Photographer of the Year and Environmental Photographer of the Year by the Professional Photographers of the Greater Bay Area in 1997, I blend the richness of film-era techniques with modern digital precision. My philosophy is simple: capture the essence of my clients' emotions and relationships through organic, unposed settings, whether in golden sunset rays or soft foggy hues.The joy of seeing clients moved to tears by their images confirms my commitment to preserving their most cherished memories. I specialize in weddings, portraits, maternity sessions, and family photography, ensuring each project reflects both timeless quality and contemporary vision. My clients consistently praise my ability to create a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere while delivering exceptional results, making every session a meaningful collaboration.
