Products and services aren't built in a day--they take years of planning and expertise in all areas of business. That's what my photography journey and approach is like as well. My undergrad degree is in sociology and anthropology, which gave me the foundational knowledge of how communities interact, socialize, and consume information. My career path started in cosmetology which taught me color theory, structure, and strong communication. While photographing weddings and families, I found my signature style in small glimmers of light and shadows, architectural and design-forward details, and the way people interact with whatever they touch.

Photographing your business starts with this holistic knowledge and approach. Alongside Monica, we not only showcase your product or service in the best light, but also create a range of visual assets to tell your full story. From portraits of you and your team, to the production and planning process, to a life cycle of consumer-facing offerings, it's all covered.

What do photography sessions of a hydraulics power plant and hand-poured artisan candles have in common? The heart behind the leadership team. I am endlessly inspired by the industries I have the opportunity to photograph, and even more inspired by the creators who share their stories.
