I am a student of the visual arts who has been practicing environmental and studio portraiture for over two decades. Although I work in treasury management, I completed my formal academic training at UC Riverside with a Master's degree in art history, and have always enjoyed the creative process. I am also a husband, father, traveler, art lover, and boxing enthusiast living in Whittier, CA.

Since the birth of my two boys, Benjamin and Samuel, family portraiture has become increasingly important to me. Anyone who has tried photographing children knows how challenging and rewarding it can be to capture a remarkable image that you know will be cherished over time. The photographs I have of my family are the most important to me, and I suspect you probably feel the same way. If you can't remember the last time you took family portraits, or want to surprise your partner with a couple's session, I can help create lasting memories.

Whether I am photographing families, friends, couples on their wedding days, or corporate executives, my philosophy is that great portraits aren't taken, they're made with deliberate and thoughtful intention. As a photographer I truly enjoy getting to know my clients, and strive to provide a positive, professional, and memorable experience. My standard rates are listed on the pricing page.
