I live in the East Bay with my wife and three of my six children. So I know how to operate in the crazy, fun chaos of life. I began photographing professionally in 2007 in Miami, Fl. while also serving in the Coast Guard. I started building my photography business and learned lighting, composition, and posing from some of the best in Miami. I went on to pursue my Master’s Degree in Fine Art from Academy of Art University in San Francisco, Ca. My time at the Academy of Art University has allowed me to experiment and master different photographic techniques. What I like most about being a photographer is that it is like reading a good book; the personalities and backstories I encounter daily allow me to grow deeply and richly from others’ experiences. I’ve learned to celebrate my own family through my journey as a photographer.
