Award-Winning Natural Light Photography for Weddings & Portraits
With over 16 years of dedicated experience in portrait and wedding photography, I have built a career rooted in capturing authentic moments through natural light. My journey began with formal education in Fine Art from California State University, Hayward, and mentorship under Master Photographer Tamara Trejo. 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 traditional film-era techniques with modern digital precision to create timeless imagery.My philosophy centers on unobtrusive, environment-driven photography, ensuring clients feel at ease while producing emotionally resonant work. From maternity shoots to weddings, I prioritize personalized service, rapid turnaround, and a commitment to preserving generational memories.
