Headshots
Professional headshot photography is the one request I get most often from business people. It could be a LinkedIn profile or a magazine cover you need. It has never been more important to have a headshot that holds the viewer's attention. Typically profile photos get lost in the shuffle of life. I create photographs with more look-ability to give you a leg up in the battle for people's attention. This is useful for any marketing application.

Family Photography
I truly enjoy my work as an Orange County family photographer. We have the best beaches, mountains, natural parks, and funky eclectic locations to create beautiful portraits all within a short distance of each other.
I love photographing people and getting those authentic smiles and genuine connections.
Whether you prefer a traditional style or like a more candid look, I can help you decide which photos are best for your home.
Despite the chosen style, it is important to consider your goal from the session, such as a giant canvas over your mantle, or some prints for a hallway. Knowing what you want for the finished product allows me to meet your expectations. Together we will create a plan for your portrait session that fits your needs.

Courthouse Weddings & Elopements
Courthouse weddings are on the rise with couples that don't want a stressful affair. My favorite options for a civil marriage ceremony in Orange County are The Old Orange County Courthouse in Santa Ana, Laguna Hills Civic Center, and Laguna Beach City Hall. I photograph more weddings at these locations than any other photographer making me an expert and guide to getting married in a Courthouse. If you are planning on having an intimate courthouse wedding or elopement at your home or somewhere else in Orange County, we can offer creative photography solutions to some of the most common obstacles associated with small weddings.

Dating App Photography
Online dating has gone mainstream in the last few years. We get requests every week for online dating photo sessions for dating app profiles, such as Tinder, Match.com, Bumble, & Hinge. After photographing hundreds of online daters, we have
perfected our formula for images that swipe right. Including the best locations in Orange County that I have specifically chosen for dating app profile photos. These unique locations offer a blend of catchy backgrounds for an authentic look to get you noticed.

Wedding Photography
I love photographing all types of weddings. Since 2000, I've had the privilege of documenting 100's of love stories through still photography. Whether you are having a Jewish wedding, Persian wedding, Indian /Southeast Asia ceremony, or same-sex wedding. With my unique blend of candid, lifestyle, and classic, technique, I am able to tell your story as it unfolds. I am confident that my style of photography will meet your needs.
It is such an honor to be trusted with capturing one of the most important days of two people coming together and joining families. I have got to say that my favorite part of the experience is delivering a custom wedding album to the bride and groom. Just getting to see the pure joy on their faces is a priceless moment. I know my job is complete when they have their photos to physically hold and share with their friends and family.

Engagement Photography
I want to be your engagement photographer as well as your wedding photographer. This is an intimate opportunity to get to know you as a couple before your big day. This is one way we truly get to know each other organically. In fact, the engagement session is an important time for the couple and photographer to create a real connection. As a result, you will have amazing photos.
Another huge benefit of engagement portraits for couples is you get to practice being in front of the camera. Most couples will later admit feeling anxious before their photos are taken. Couples who have their engagement photos taken tell me this is so helpful with easing wedding day nerves. Your family will also benefit when they see these images of you two and have added trust in your photographer when the wedding day arrives.
At a wedding, trust equals incredible photos like on this website. When I have your trust and confidence, great things happen.

Can my portraits be taken in a photography studio?
The simple answer is yes. I have years of studio photography experience. I can photograph individuals or groups for your LinkedIn or social media profile, headshots, business portraits. The beauty of studio photography is the ability to control the environment with my use of lighting and backgrounds to create unique images that exactly fit your needs.
My job as your photographer is to listen to what you want in a photograph and make suggestions that help achieve your goals. It might seem intimidating at first but I strive to create a fun and relaxed environment at every session. I aim to create an enjoyable experience so you walk away feeling confident and satisfied that your portraits will look great.
Can you photograph me at a park or outside location?
Definitely! I travel to various locations throughout Orange County and Los Angeles. I often find myself photographing Attorneys or Business executives at their office. We bring our mobile studio right to your place of business. This is a convenient way to get the entire office photographed without losing productivity. I have a great list of OC photo locations.
