It has to start somewhere…

Welcome to my new photoblog!

This is a project that I’ve been meaning to start for some time, mainly as a place to post updated photos and keep people updated on my latest projects.

This place is best described as a “go with the flow” photoblog–I’ll update when I feel the impulse and when it makes sense.  I’m not huge on social media, but this is a start.  More than anything, it will finally give me a forum to share photos with others that would otherwise sit on my hard drive (until I decide they are good enough to fall into one of my portfolio pages).

In any event, I’ve already thought of what my first posting will be… cherry blossoms in DC’s tidal basin!  I know, there’s a million photos of these, but hopefully mine are a little unique.  Hey, at least I get the satisfaction of putting them where others can see them.

For now, a small preview of the cherry blossom photos…

I've been shooting professionally since 2009—ever since I bought my first DSLR and realized I love making images. Since then, photography has been nothing short of a passion for me. Regardless of what I'm shooting or who I'm shooting it for, it's important to me that my client is satisfied and feels that the photos represent them in the best possible light. Making a photo is a personal experience. That's why I do what it takes to make sure that my subjects' personalities shine through an image—whether it's a portrait, corporate headshot, fashion line, music festival, family photo, or product shot, every image is sincere and true to self. A little more about me: I'm a Californian, born and raised. I grew up in L.A. before moving to the Bay Area to attend undergraduate and graduate school at UC Berkeley. My interests in policy and photography brought me to Washington, DC where I'm currently living and loving it. Outside of photography, I love dark beers and new gadgets. My studio is in the neighborhood of Columbia Heights, near Adams Morgan. I'm always excited to talk about photography and work with new people.
