San Diego · Editorial Photography
Photographs that hold time.
Portrait, family, event and arangetram photography in San Diego. Quiet, deliberate, made to outlast their season.
Introduction
I work with families, individuals and dancers across San Diego. The work is unhurried. The photographs are made to be looked at twenty years from now, not just shared on Friday.
Selected work
Portfolio
The photographs exist to hold time. The image of a woman at sixty looking at herself at seventeen, in full kosthumam, in the last quiet moment before the curtain rises — that is what we are actually making.
Services
How I work.
Editorial portrait sessions in San Diego.
Portrait
Honest, unhurried portrait sessions for individuals — headshots, personal branding, milestone portraits. Studio in Chula Vista or on location across San Diego County.
Family portraits at the places that matter to you.
Family
Family portrait sessions in San Diego — Coronado, La Jolla, Balboa Park, Sunset Cliffs, or your home. Patient with kids, attentive to grandparents, and built around the way your family actually moves.
Cultural ceremonies, milestones, private events.
Event
Event coverage for cultural ceremonies, anniversaries, milestone parties, and private gatherings. Discreet on the floor, prepared for mixed lighting, with a clear plan for the moments that matter.
Bharatanatyam Arangetram coverage. San Diego specialist.
Arangetram
Pre-Arangetram portrait sessions and ceremony day coverage for Bharatanatyam debut performances. Recommended by Naad Studios. Familiar with the structure of the day from green room to receiving line.
