I unexpectedly fell into brand & business photography after nearly 10 years of shooting all types of photography gigs professionally.
It started when an old roommate of mine asked me to shoot website photos for a law firm in Tacoma, WA, and after that it just clicked that I was meant to focus in branding & business photography. My background in community health work, peer counseling + case management, and online marketing for my own photography businesses all came together to form the perfect combo, and I realized I was passionate about turning formal concepts into unique photographs. I’ve noticed how most branding photography is uniform and forgettable, and I am determined to create unique photographs for your unique brand & business.
Though I’m based in the Tacoma, WA I am more than happy to travel and shoot in another state or country.
Overall, my partner, Shailyn, and kids are my biggest motivators, and together, we love serving unique businesses and our community! Our main goal is helping our clients build their brands & businesses while spending less time stressing over photos, and more time on what they love most.
Mi Familia
We're a blended family of 6 (2 dogs not shown in the photo), but it feels like we have been a together our whole lives and for that we are forever grateful! It brings us joy that our business gives us the freedom to flex our schedules for our family's sometimes-wild life!
Weddings, Quinces & Baptisms
Professionally I started shooting weddings, quinces (latino sweet 15's) and baptisms but my love for photography originally started when my son was born almost a decade ago. I learned to shoot professionally by being an apprentice at a local photography company, Pink Studio, where they taught me the ins and outs of shooting manually, angles and lighting. This photograph was my favorite photograph I shot during the first wedding I was contracted for under my first photography company, Pacific Rise Media, 9 years ago.
