I am a California-based architectural and interior photographer with nearly two decades of experience capturing spaces that stop people mid-scroll.

Raised in Colorado and rooted in Southern California, I bring a measured, unhurried approach to every shoot. I’ve developed an eye for light, landscape, and the kind of quiet detail most people walk right past. That same instinct now drives my work on shoot days — seeking out the considered details, the precise lines, and the moments of atmosphere that make a well-designed space feel inviting on camera.

With my tenure behind the lens, my work has appeared in Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, House Beautiful, Luxe, Traditional Home, and across coffee table books, catalogs, and national campaigns.

Before photography, I spent years in ministry — a path that shaped the patience, intentionality, and genuine care for people that I bring to every client relationship today.

I live in Southern California with my wife and three children. When I’m not shooting, you can find me at the beach, in the mountains, or climbing rocks somewhere in Joshua Tree with my family.
