  • Born & raised in Los Angeles, CA! I now split my time between Los Angeles and Hawaii.

  • I've loved photography since I was a kid, but started taking it seriously as a career in 2010. I got into modeling when I was 14 after being asked to walk the runway for a charity fashion show. I did my first voiceover job when I was around 16 for a phone system's virtual assistant software. However, I didn't focus on voiceovers much after that until 2019 when I took a traditional animation course at UCLA. I got to learn about the production side of animation & fell in love with voice acting. I knew I wanted to be in the arts & entertainment industry since I was a kid, & I'm grateful that I get to work in it now.

  • I mainly shoot portraits. I also do product photography for many different brands & work with jewelry, clothing, & cosmetic brands the most.

  • I can do voiceovers & product photography work virtually. I have a broadcast quality recording booth where I record my voiceovers, & a fully equipped photo studio where I do product shoots. Product photography clients usually mail their items to me with a pre-paid return label (or if they're local to Los Angeles, they can drop them off in person.) I photograph the products in my studio, deliver the edited photos, & then ship the products back to the client if they want them back.

  • AT2020 XLR Microphone, Focusrite Scarlett Solo audio interface, pop filter, shock mount, Producer’s Choice sound blankets and foam panels for noise treatment, studio headphones. I record & edit audio on Audacity & also have Source Connect.

  • You can contact me by email or the contact form to provide information about the shoot, such as the desired date & time, concept, location, budget, deadlines, etc. I’ll respond within 48 hours. The shoot is reserved only after the client pays for the nonrefundable retainer fee.

  • Yes, every client is required to sign my contract before a shoot.

  • Please let me know this when you first reach out to book a shoot. I ask all clients to sign a model release form before the shoot. This gives me permission to use the photos for marketing & showcase my work to other potential clients. However, you can opt out of this if you want to keep your photos private. I'm the copyright holder for all the photos I take unless it is transferred to someone else.

  • As the photographer, part of my job is to select the best photos from the session for you. The photos you don’t receive are test shots, blurry, photos where you blinked, etc. I'll never keep additional photos hostage if I think you'd like them!

  • No. I don’t provide RAW files because they’re unfinished images. By giving the RAW files away, I run the risk of having my photos edited in a way that is not an accurate representation of my work. (On that note, pretty please don’t put filters on my images.)

  • Yes! You’re welcome to bring your partner, a friend, a relative, etc. to the session with you if they will help you feel more comfortable and won’t distract you.

  • Yes, I have experience with giving clients posing directions & will do my best to help you feel & look comfortable in front of the camera.
