I am a Southern California based photographer with 15 years of experience specializing in interiors, architecture, and hospitality. Growing up in the rural suburbs of Philadelphia I developed a passion for photography, inspired by the area’s natural beauty and history. I went on to study photography at Brooks Institute in Santa Barbara where I earned my BFA in 2011, and fell in love with a lifestyle centered around the outdoors.

After graduating, I spent several years as first assistant to a hospitality photographer. I had the fortunate opportunity to travel the world on shoots for luxury brands where I developed an appreciation for the confluence of creativity and technical problem solving one encounters when photographing the built world. Working as a team, and always delivering images that exceed client expectations no matter what challenges are encountered, brought a sense of pride and fulfillment that serves as a guiding principle toward my artistic process today. Between these trips my portfolio evolved through commissions of my own as I built relationships with designers, builders, and architects - many of whom I am happy to call both friends and clients today.

Success for me comes from a blend of open imagination, thoughtful planning, and creative collaboration with my clients - ensuring that each project results in impactful, portfolio-worthy images. When not behind the camera I enjoy being in nature, whether that be in the ocean free diving, in the air hang gliding, or on a mountain skiing.
