My journey with photography since 2019 has led me to be a part of a variety of very fulfilling projects. Some have been delicate and emotional, like a farewell garden party for a friend battling cancer, while others have been joyous celebrations, such as an 80th birthday party for a retired and accomplished university professor.

My goal is to create meaningful work that transcends transactions (although I know sometimes a simple transaction is also needed in some situations and can also respect that). I strive to build a connection with my clients, ensuring that I am the right fit for their needs. If I’m not a match for your needs, that’s okay! There’s a photographer out there for everyone. The joy and satisfaction of my clients when they see the final images is what I aim for.

Couple of facts about me: I hail from the Bay Area and graduated from UC Davis in 2018. I’m multilingual, speaking English, Spanish, and Japanese, and I travel to Japan annually to visit my in-laws (wife is Japanese). I’m also a proud parent of a one-year-old, whom my wife and I are raising to be trilingual (we hope!).

Thank you for taking the time to get to know me!
