Laverne

"Justice is what love looks like in public. I believe that the fact that we have to prove our womanhood or manhood is a sign that we do not live in a free society. How about proving our humanhood instead?" - Laverne Cox

Cal Poly Grads: Chris + Cynthia

Chris and Cynthia are hands down the cutest and goofiest couple ever. Shooting them was such a blast.

Pismo

The world gives away to the indigo of the night as the salty air chills, the tantalizing winds of the sea beckoning you closer and closer. The melodic waves ring in your ears and the winds whisper their deepest secrets...

Take Out Kidz

Catching glimmering moments of golden light during my favorite time of day as my favorite dancers pranced around the hills dressed to the nines...the shoot was nothing short of magical.

Leap

A senior portrait shoot with dancers never turns out the way it's supposed to. You'll probably jump, twirl, climb your way onto signs, fountains, trees, and possibly restricted places. Being on the ground was never that fun anyway. :)

Chicago, a colorful mosaic of towering skyscrapers and unique neighborhoods I have yet to see in person and fall in love with. Here's to hoping life leads me here soon...
