Portrait Photogrpaher in San Diego

Portrait photography thats not stuffy and allows you to be the wild and free spirit that you are. I dont believe in perfection. I dont believe in matching clothes. I dont believe in cheesy smiles at the camera. That's not what you are going to get here.

These sessions are about having fun and showing off your vulnerable side. This is a time for you to let your guards down and create art with me.

WE ARE SO AWKWARD IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA! CAN YOU HELP US?

Documentary Family Photos are a slice of what your daily life is actually like. A raw portrait of what it means to be a member of your family. Lifestyle is more of a staged moment on location, or at home.

FAQs

My process is raw and unguarded. Nothing is ever planned out or constricted to the cookie-cutter idea of what photography should be. I follow the noise, the laughter, the tears and all the quiet moments in-between. Every session is a different journey or adventure, and thats what makes these mini-sessions so special. You will never have the same photographs as another client. Your pictures are truly unique to you.

If you're looking for a photographer who creates thoughtful images, that show real, raw emotions, then you've found the one.
