ABOUT ME

Hello.

 

I began my love of photography as a child growing up in Oakland, CA, and soon became obsessed with the fundamentals that make a great photograph: lighting, balance, composition, and use of space.

 

Photography and videography are my greatest passions and I have been playing with cameras my entire life. I share my passion through private sessions and events, studio and lifestyle product photography, and personal blogs and vlogs.
 

In addition to photography, I have been an advocate of medical cannabis for over 20 years. My parents and I started the country's first medical cannabis magazine, Greenkind. I was our publications lead photographer and had the pleasure of shooting many of medical cannabis's most famous and revered activists.

 

Over the years I have crafted my style to include product photography. I can provide studio and lifestyle product photos, specializing in cannabis.

 

My photography has been featured in multiple shows on the East and West Coast, in magazines, in a national billboard campaign, and online.

​

I also enjoy shooting events. For weddings, family, elopements, and parties, I bring a non-intrusive narrative to each event I shoot.

I am a recipient of the Dream Keeper Enterprising Creative Cohort Grant, Enterprising Creatives: Test Market Laboratory Cohort Grant, and the October 2023 Curator-in-Residence (CIR) at The Black Curator’s Lab (BlkCL) through Artist As First Responder at the Minnesota Street Art Foundation and a 2024 San Francisco Arts Commission Grantee for my project Be Seen.

​

Be Seen Project: The Genius and Gaze of Black Creatives is a project focused on capturing images of Black creatives in outdoor and public art locations around the Bay Area. This project’s first public showing along with a retrospective of my work debuted in October, 2023 in San Francisco.
