Fun Brand Photoshoot Ideas That Actually Attract Clients (Not Just Likes)

Flat lay from a Chanel-inspired 25th birthday photoshoot in the San Francisco Bay Area featuring a small “25” birthday cake surrounded by Chanel shopping bags, pearls, sunglasses, champagne, confetti, and pink, white, and black balloons.

Working alongside the incredibly talented team at KLO Events (styling), along with makeup […]

Having my own San Francisco Bay Area photography studio (check it out here) has opened the door to more creative collaborations like this Winter Blues editorial photoshoot.

Winter Blues Editorial Photoshoot: Creative Product, Beauty, & Portrait Photography

Lifestyle brand photography of clothing and accessories displayed inside Pretty Penny, a Berkeley boutique, featuring woven bags, hats, sunglasses, and denim.

Pretty Penny is one of those Berkeley shops that instantly makes you smile the second you walk in. It’s colorful, welcoming, and full of personality! I literally can’t visit the store without buying something because they do such an amazing job sourcing unique pieces, and I frequent the space enough that I’ve become friends with […]

I had the pleasure of photographing bright lifestyle and product photos for a San Francisco Bay Area based sustainable bamboo shoe company whose mission centers on comfort, style, and reducing their environmental footprint.
