Photographing Beautiful Moments in Sonoma County!

My Story:

I've always been drawn to artistic expression and creatvity, while also having a natural flair for technical details and electronics. Photography has been a way to combine those two worlds in a way that is both personally fulfilling and rewarding while also bringing a lot of happiness to the world. They say that if you do something you love, you’ll never work a day in your life, and helping to capture some of life’s most important and beautiful moments really feels like the perfect job!

I initially started with photography (like most photographers I would assume) as a hobby, and after a few years of taking photos of my wife and friends, reading every photography magazine and book I could get my hands on, and shadowing and learning from some excellent professional photographers, I started thinking I might actually be becoming a good photographer myself!

In order to justify to my family why I was spending so much money on lenses and cameras, and why yes, it is necessary for me to own five different camera bodies (lol), I decided the time had come to start a photography side business! Since then (which was around late 2018), I have shot all types of events; from weddings to quinceaneras, and from family sessions to engagements (as well as over 100 sessions as a primary photographer with Shoott Photography). My passion for photography and the desire to capture the ‘perfect photo with the perfect lighting’ is something that continues to drive me, and being able to connect with so many wonderful couples, families, and clients has been so rewarding for me.

Let’s Work Together!

I believe in photography that is not just about preserving memories but doing so creatively, technically, and artistically. My style can be described as vibrant, fun, and focused. I'll work closely with you to help craft a perfect timeline, make sure every important family member is photographed, and make sure to capture every important moment.

I love making my clients feel relaxed and joyful as we create memories together. Send me a message for availability! I’m currently booking for 2024 and 2025.

Equipment/Gear (as of 2024):

In 2024, after five years as a Canon shooter, I moved over to Sony, and currently use:

  • Camera Bodies: Sony A7R3, Sony A7R2

  • Lenses: 50mm f1.8, 135mm f2.0, 24-70mm f2.8, 16-35mm f4, 90mm Macro f2.8, 14mm f2.8, 24mm f1.4, 85mm f1.4

  • Other: Godox Flash & Triggers, Various Softboxes & Reflectors

Fun Facts About Me:

  • I love music (all genres!), and I play both guitar and drums. I also have a large vinyl record collection too!

  • I love technology, and I believe my passion for photography probably stems from my love for anything that had buttons and flashing lights when I was a kid!

  • I love being around animals, and have owned and trained (if you can believe it!) many house rabbits over the years. Currently I take care of Onyx and Sally (two amazing rabbits) as well as Kepri and Sijara (two amazing cats). I follow a plant based diet and try to avoid anything that might have harmed an animal.

  • I play role-playing video games whenever I have a free moment (which isn’t that often lol), and also collect comics. I have always loved comic book and manga art, and appreciate how talented those artists are.

  • I think friends, family, and good conversations are the best things in life.

  • Night owl alert! You can email me at any hour.
