Your headshot isn’t just a photo—it’s your first impression. Whether you’re an actor preparing for auditions or a professional elevating your brand, I create images that capture your unique presence and help you stand out with confidence.

With over 15 years of experience in photography, lighting, and visual storytelling, I design sessions that take the stress out of being in front of the camera. You’ll get expert guidance on posing, expression, and wardrobe so you feel natural, relaxed, and at your best. My goal is to create photos that not only look great but also work for you—getting you noticed, opening doors, and making a lasting impression.

Serving clients in San Diego and Los Angeles, I specialize in:

  • Actor Headshots – cinematic, authentic, and industry-ready.

  • Professional Headshots – portraits that build trust and elevate your online presence.

  • Cinematic Photography – storytelling images with style and impact.

When you work with me, you’re not just booking a photoshoot—you’re investing in a tool that represents who you are and where you’re going.
