Behind the Lens

I strive to capture those special moments in life that take your breath away...

Whether it's enjoying an afternoon at the beach or your dream wedding, my whole purpose will be telling your story. A hug, a smile, a kiss, a joyful tear… It's your story of happiness, triumph, of living life to the fullest. That day is all about you. I'll be delighted to share and capture those moments.

I have been blessed to receive over a dozen accolades from local and national print competitions. These are merely a reflection of the love I have for capturing beautiful images that delight the senses. I owe my success to my family, friends and awesome clients.

I am based out of Modesto, California but I have had the pleasure of photographing beautiful weddings in the United States as well as abroad.
