Yes—editorial, commercial, and fine-art licenses tailored to your usage.

For me, the secret is making it real. I’m drawn to honest moments—the quick glance, the unguarded laugh, the quiet breath—and I frame them with care. You can’t fake emotion, so I start by building trust: simple direction, a calm presence, and space for people to be themselves. Once everyone’s at ease, I work like a fly on the wall—observing, anticipating, and catching the instant when feeling and light align. That’s when a photograph becomes more than a picture; it becomes a memory you can hold.

When I start a new project, I want to understand you and the story we’re telling. The questions shift depending on the work—headshots, weddings, personal portraits—but the goal is the same: get inside your vision so the images feel unmistakably yours.

About you

• Who are you as a person?

• What do you love to do for fun?

• Any artists, films, or references that inspire you?

Look & feel

• How should this read: professional/commercial/clean, cinematic, hyper-artistic, nostalgic, etc.?

• What’s the “theme song” or soundtrack vibe?

• Color or black & white—or a mix?

Setting

• Urban or nature? Studio or location? Any meaningful spots we should consider?

• Logistics (so the day runs smoothly)

• Timeline, key moments, and any must-have shots?

• Wardrobe and styling preferences; hair/makeup needs?

• Intended use (website, print, press, social) and delivery deadlines?

From there, I build a simple plan that protects the experience and keeps the session relaxed. The better I understand you and your vision, the more honest—and memorable—the photographs become.

What I love most is the connection—photography lets me meet people where they are and honor what’s real. There’s beauty across the whole spectrum of life: joy, quiet, even grief. I’m drawn to those honest moments when we’re our true selves, not the version we think we should be. That’s when an image can feel like recognition.

There’s a line I live by: do what you love, and it never feels like work. My father was an artist and introduced me to photography and film when I was young; it’s been part of me ever since. It took me forty years to make it my focus, and I’m grateful every day that I finally did.

I’ve always had an entrepreneurial streak. For twenty years, I put it to work building luxury boutique hotels and restaurants—helping others shape standout experiences. After a crazy, exciting, and often high-pressure two decades, I chose to focus on what’s always been mine: photography.

Running my own studio gives me the freedom to take on projects, locations, and clients that truly inspire me. That’s when the work flows—unforced, natural, alive. I bring the same hospitality mindset to every job: thoughtful planning, clear communication, and a calm presence. The result is a creative process that feels effortless for you and images that feel unmistakably true.

Choose me for thoughtful images and a frictionless experience. I bring a calm, editorial approach to every assignment—portraits, events, travel, hospitality, architecture, and lifestyle—focused on people, light, and story. With 20 years in luxury boutique hotels, I understand how high-end experiences run: clear timelines, discreet presence, and seamless collaboration with planners, venue teams, and talent. Clients hire me for discretion, preparation, and consistency—on location anywhere in the world, from New York to Bali and beyond.

Creatively, I work with natural, flattering light and clean composition to make images that feel refined and unforced. Operationally, I plan and scout, guide when clarity matters, and keep backup systems on-site and off-site. I also offer architectural, interior, and aerial capabilities plus expert retouching—useful for hospitality, editorial, and brand work where polish is non-negotiable. The result is versatile, publication-ready photography that elevates your vision and stands the test of time.
