CAPABILITIES / PHOTOGRAPHY
Before I was a designer, I was a photographer.
For more than a decade, photography was my full-time career—and it still shapes the way I approach nearly everything I create.
I owned and operated a professional photography studio specializing in highly styled, detail-driven imagery, with hands-on experience spanning studio lighting, product and commercial photography, portraiture, meticulous retouching, color management, print production, and the occasional heroic amount of Photoshop.
Today, I bring that same photographer’s eye to design and creative direction: an obsession with composition, light, texture, color, and the tiny details that can make an image—or an entire brand—feel considered.

PRODUCT Photography
Clean, well-lit photography of your actual product, on its own, styled in a flat lay, or in context, built to make an item look as good in a photo as it does in person. This is essential for any e-commerce or product-based brand.
HEADSHOT Photography
A headshot is usually the first real look someone gets at you, and for service businesses especially, it's doing more work than people give it credit for. A good one builds trust before a visitor reads a single word of your About page. This is for anyone who needs a photo that actually looks like them on a good day, not a stiff, over-lit corporate portrait that could belong to anyone.
Lifestyle BRAND Photography
This is imagery that shows your business in motion, in the actual spaces and moments your work happens in, rather than posed against a blank wall. It's usually the strongest, most personal imagery a brand can have. Ideal for service providers and wellness practitioners who want their site to feel lived-in and human, not staged.
Styled BRAND Photography
More art-directed than lifestyle work, this is where a full concept comes together on purpose: a model, a set, a product, all styled to match your brand's palette and mood. It takes planning, but the payoff is imagery that looks like it belongs to no one else. This is the right fit for product-based businesses and brands ready to make a bigger visual statement, on the website, in a launch campaign, or across a full marketing push.
PROJECT Photography
For businesses whose work results in a finished, physical space, construction, renovation, design, this is photography that documents the outcome once the work is done. It's less about staging and more about capturing a space at its best: the light, the finish work, the details a client will want to show off. This has been a natural fit for clients like Caliber Construction, where the "after" photos become some of the most persuasive marketing a project ever gets.
