Based in Los Angeles, I’m a lifestyle photographer telling stories about people, spaces, and the snacks we eat along the way. I love to collaborate on portraits that emphasize process because I spent years as a pastry chef building tiny Jenga dessert towers in Michelin restaurants and hotels across the US. Now, I get to document what lies beyond the food porn feed. Publications include Los Angeles Times, Gastronomica, Noice, F-Stop, and Midnite Snack.
I am a ballet fanatic and would never say no to a green tamale.
