We wanted to do a playing card photoshoot. What followed was a fun day on set tossing cards around over and over until we got JUST the right shots.

I'm in Hawaii now and y'all might never see me again 😂

Look at the shots I've been taking!

Any recommendations while I'm here?

Shout out to #oahuphotographytour for guiding me to this beautiful beach at sunset.

This set was all about capturing old Hollywood vibes and gorgeous Black skin tones.

I love using prisms in my work for the surreal feel it gives.

Seattle folks, DM me for your portrait project today. Let's make something amazing 🙌🏿

#ClairObscur Expedition 33 is the best game of the year, and one of the coolest artistic experiences I've had in a while.

Everything about it is thoughtful, poetic, and gripping. Props to the art team, the writing team, and the composer especially.

I've always loved this set. It hit me as both very hopeful and very vulnerable. What do y'all think?

What's the strangest place y'all have ever done a photoshoot at?

This set at an old shipping yard ranked pretty high for me.

Which one of these shots clicks with you most? I'm a sucker for black and white portraits myself.

I present to you: Swaghilda, the Gunlancer.

She hunts monsters with her Palico, Eggs Benedict.

She looks stylish while riding her mount, Chocolate Butter Joe, into battle.

You can't touch me with these names or this drip!

These are two of my fave shots from a recent cyc wall set shoot. I love deep shadows and super saturated colors. No matter the pose, there's power to her presence.

It feels good to be doing photoshoots again! We shot against a cyc wall and got some amazing fashion editorial-style photos.

DM me for a session!

I remember this set was meant to commemorate Emma's birthday. She ATE these poses.

Find some water to stare into and reset yourself. It'll all be okay.

I just love reflections in photography. This model placed herself perfectly, and the sun made her glow.

Been a while! I've been avoiding social media the last few weeks, for obvious reasons 😅

Here's some shots of an extremely talented artist friend of mine in her studio working on her stained glass pieces.

This set was probably the first true photoshoot I ever did. It was in Seattle, by the piers, and this model was so kind to me as I nervously directed her.

Exploring vulnerability is one of my favorite themes as a photographer. Especially when it relates to masculinity.

I had a lot of fun playing with angles and drama in this set. This model captured a really cinematic feel, especially in the second shot.

Happy Holidays to everyone!

Here's a photoshoot I did a while back by the sea. There's no snow, but I can assure you it was cold lol.

I've been enjoying the holidays with my family so much, I've totally forgotten to post. So here's some shots I took about home.
