I have been creating portraits for over 10 years. I have studied under Master Photographer Tamara Trejo, as well as earning a B.A. in Fine Art from California State University of Hayward. In 1997 I was awarded Photographer of the Year from the Professional Photographers of the Greater Bay Area, as well as receiving Environmental Photographer of the year, and first place in Environmental Photography.
My approach to photography is simple ... keep it natural. I don't have a studio I shoot in for a reason, I love to watch people in an environment that describes them with the best possible light... whether it be golden sunset rays or soft foggy hues. The best compliment I've been given is when my clientèle cries after seeing their images... it is then I know I captured what was in their heart.
I am also a photographer who loves traditional means... I only shoot film! There is a classic beauty to the film medium that has been a part of our history for over a hundred years... it not only has a sharper look and quality but it is known to last for generations ahead... which is truly the point of my work.
Weddings or portraits, my style is unique in which it is my job to capture you not only as an impression but also with the spirit that tells a story of a lifetime!
