I’m a portrait and editorial photographer, creative director, and model based in San Diego, California. I first picked up a camera when I was about six years old, building scrapbooks and capturing life in my own way, and I officially started pursuing photography in 2014. What began as a hobby quickly turned into something much deeper a way to help people feel seen, confident, and connected to themselves.

Over the years, I’ve developed my craft through hands on experience, creative direction, and studies in Photojournalism, Digital Media Arts, and Adobe Photoshop. My work blends fashion inspired storytelling with emotion, authenticity, and intentional connection.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with a variety of brands, organizations, creatives, and event companies throughout San Diego and beyond. This includes beverage brands such as Toast Beverages and Drink Update, as well as organizations and creative companies like Illustrated Melanin, No Gap Consulting, Kinfolk: Blanket Sounds, Black San Diego, and F6ix.

I’ve also worked with influencers, models, artists, and public figures including Lexie With Love, Luna Fierro, Nessie Millyana, Vogue model Issa Noelani, gamer and streamer Tatum Michelle, actress Rael Ba, and artists Sax Souljah and Shannon Mac.

Beyond photography, I’ve stepped into creative direction and community based event production, creating spaces where photographers, models, and creatives can collaborate intentionally and grow together. After working as the Creative Director for Highly Collaborative, I began independently producing and hosting my own creative events and experiences throughout San Diego, including The Shoot.

The Shoot is a monthly women centered creative experience designed to help women feel safer, more comfortable, and more empowered within photography spaces. In an industry that can often feel intimidating or male dominated, I wanted to create an environment where women can freely express vulnerability, creativity, confidence, and individuality in front of the camera while building genuine connection and community through art.

As both a photographer and a model, I understand the vulnerability that comes with being on either side of the lens. I am very hands on during shoots, from posing direction to creating a comfortable space where people feel supported, confident, and relaxed. I show up as a hype woman, a guide, and someone who makes sure the experience feels easy and enjoyable from start to finish.

Outside of photography, I work full time as a leasing consultant. When I am off, I am usually at the beach, napping, watching true crime, or hunting for good food because I am a foodie to the fullest. I am not big on sweets though, so I always gravitate toward savory or healthy food. When I am not working or creating, I am usually trying to get out more, going to jazz festivals, concerts, or just staying grounded and recharging.

I am very family oriented, an auntie of six, and I carry a lot of old school influence in my personality and taste. I grew up on 70s, 80s, and 90s music, and even though I am Gen Z with a bit of a millennial soul. My favorite artist is Rico Nasty, and I love anything that feels energetic, creative, and different.

No pressure to perform. Just show up, and we’ll create something real together. If you’re looking for a portrait photographer who makes you feel comfortable, seen, and fully yourself from start to finish, I’m your girl.
