Are you available for photo sessions in Montecito and Santa Barbara?

Yes, absolutely. I am based on the Central Coast and frequently travel to Montecito and the greater Santa Barbara area for client sessions. It is a favorite destination for my luxury portrait and boudoir work.

my clients commission art from me.
they are not just booking photos—
they’re embarking on a journey of self-discovery.
my camera is simply the conduit.
each woman I photograph is a masterpiece exactly as she is.

black and white boudoir

the light was fading, but she wasn’t. she moved once—and everything shifted.

the girl next door, she’s the one.

You’re the woman in front of me at Starbucks.

The one eating lunch alone in a café.

The one who flew across the country for this—because she knew she was worth it.

You’re not here to perform.

You’re here to be seen.

Wear what you want.

Feel how you feel.

Say yes without needing a reason.

This isn’t about perfection.

It’s about presence.

Unfiltered. Unrushed. Undeniably you.

That’s the difference.

That’s the magic.

This is black & white for a reason.

Yes. I travel.

If you're not local — or just want to go somewhere that feels like freedom — I’ll pack my gear and go.

It’s not about the place. It’s about how you feel *in* it.

Alive. Unscripted. Yours.

We’ll find the light wherever we land.

Just say the word.

San Luis Obispo’s best black and white boudoir & women’s photographer.

i am here to create with you—not just capture an image, but honor your story. as San Luis Obispo’s best black and white boudoir photographer and the Central Coast’s best kept hidden secret, i photograph women where they are most themselves: california’s central coast, san luis obispo, santa barbara, the bay area, and anywhere you feel inspired. it’s not about a studio or a set—it’s about showing up exactly as you are, in a favorite hotel, a hidden-away airbnb, barefoot on the beach, or wherever your spirit feels most alive.

your session will be stripped of anything you don’t need. we’ll toss out the scripts and toss off the extra—what’s left is bold, honest, iconic art, centered on your vulnerability and your strength. you don’t have to be anyone but yourself here. you want to make images that celebrate who you are, where you are, how you feel? let’s go. no judgment. all ears. no pressure. ready to make something legendary with you—whether it’s close to home or halfway across the world, in paris, london, italy, or france. you are the masterpiece.
