A bit about me

 

Photography has been part of my life since before I can remember; always a camera in hand, always seeking out the small things that I found beautiful. Over the past twenty years, my career has revolved around interior design in nearly every form: marketing, procurement, sourcing, styling, and project management for designers whose work I deeply admire. Those experiences shaped how I see a space—not just as a collection of finishes and furnishings, but as a reflection of someone’s craft, process, and purpose.


As an interior photographer based in Orange County California, I bring that layered understanding to every shoot. I approach each project as a collaboration, working closely with designers and architects to capture the essence of their work and the feeling it brings to their clients’ lives. I like to balance the broad story of a room with the quiet intimacy of the details.


What drives me most is the shared creative process—the moment when a designer sees their vision come alive through the camera’s perspective. Photography isn’t just about beautiful images of beautiful spaces; it’s about appreciating the intention and thoughtfulness behind design.


Available throughout Southern California.
