I’m so excited to share that I was featured in CanvasRebel! In the interview, I talk about my journey as a brand and lifestyle photographer, my love of color, and why creating photos that feel fun, authentic, and full of personality is at the heart of my work.
My Photography Philosophy
For me, photography isn’t just about taking a pretty picture—it’s about creating an experience where you feel comfortable, confident, and celebrated. Whether I’m photographing an Orange County brand photoshoot, a Palm Springs lifestyle session, or a colorful wedding, my goal is to capture images that feel true to who you are.
I love to bring in play, movement, and collaboration so shoots feel easy and fun. And of course—color. Color is my favorite way to infuse energy, mood, and personality into your photos so they tell your story in a way that feels vibrant and unique.
What Makes My Work Unique
In the CanvasRebel article, I shared some of the ways I approach photography differently:
Authenticity over perfection – I lean into real expressions and candid moments instead of stiff poses.
Color as storytelling – From bold backdrops to subtle tones, I use color to match your personality and brand vibe.
Energy & connection – My shoots are filled with laughter, encouragement, and a collaborative spirit so you feel at ease in front of the camera.
Why This Feature Matters
Being featured in CanvasRebel is such an honor because it highlights not just my photography, but the deeper mission behind it: helping people feel more confident and connected to themselves. Photos aren’t just for marketing, they’re a mirror that can remind you of your own beauty, personality, and worth.
That’s why I love working with creative entrepreneurs, coaches, stylists, and families who want photos that actually feel like them.
