From our first conversation to your final gallery, I lead you through every step…creative direction, wardrobe planning, shot list development, and posing that feels natural. With over 17 years of experience behind the camera, I know how to move efficiently while maintaining a warm, calm, and collaborative process.
THE SANTA ROSA STUDIO
We create visual content that moves your brand forward and establishes you as an expert in your field
Our Santa Rosa studio was designed to feel like a breath of fresh air, bright, open, and minimally styled to bring your vision to life. With natural light pouring through and neutral tones that adapt to any brand aesthetic, it’s a space that allows you to feel both grounded and inspired the moment you walk in.
ABOUT THE SPACE:
Located in the heart of Sonoma County, the studio offers a seamless blend of comfort and versatility. This space is perfect for lifestyle headshots or a branding session. It’s perfect for founders, teams, creatives, and professionals who want their imagery to feel elevated yet approachable.
Whether we’re capturing brand portraits, lifestyle content, or your next big campaign, this space adapts beautifully to your story.

Where Visual Content Meets Strategic Storytelling
THE OAKLAND STUDIO
Where creativity meets community.
The Oakland studio is a bright, modern space filled with character, texture, and light — designed for creators who want their visuals to feel bold, polished, and full of energy. With high ceilings, flexible setups, and curated styling details, it’s ideal for brand sessions, editorial work, and collaborative shoots that require versatility and soul.
PERSONAL CONNECTION:
This space holds special meaning for me. It’s owned by my dear friend and former team member, whose creative eye and dedication helped shape many of the systems and experiences I still use in my own brand today. Together, we share a vision for creating environments where artists, founders, and creatives feel supported and inspired to do their best work.

The Experience
Details: Whether you’re booking a 25-minute refresh, a 45-minute brand session, or a full-day production for your team, every experience is designed to feel effortless, guided, and genuinely enjoyable.
We Promise a Flawless Experience, Not Just a Photoshoot: From our first conversation to your final gallery, I lead you through every step — creative direction, wardrobe planning, shot list development, and posing that feels natural. With over 17 years of experience behind the camera, I know how to move efficiently while keeping the process warm, calm, and collaborative.
Versatility: Sessions can be booked in both our Santa Rosa and Oakland studios, each offering natural light, textured walls, seamless backdrops, and curated furniture pieces that make your session feel elevated and personal. For brands and teams, we also offer half-day and full-day bookings that include multiple looks, varied setups, and space for your entire crew.
Studio Locations + On-Location Options: If you’d rather photograph in your own environment, we can bring the experience to you — your office, studio, or creative space. On-location sessions are customized to reflect your world, with travel added for locations over 30 miles from either studio.
