A few selects from today’s events at People’s Park in Berkeley, Calif., January 4, 2024

Large shipping containers were places around the perimeter of People’s Park today in a new plan to empty the space before beginning construction for future housing.

Been doing a lot of portraits lately for different clients.

It’s always tricky when you do something a lot to not get stuck in a rut or feel repetitive, so I’m always trying to find new ways to approach a portrait for each of my clients. I’m really happy with these but I definitely want to keep pushing the envelope and find more ways to create a portrait.

Had the great opportunity to spend time hanging with a bunch of great kids this past summer at the Lawrence Hall of Sciences’ summer camps.

Kid energy + fun science experiments = awesome photo opportunities 😁

A few of the selects from one of my photo shoots with this past spring.

So much fun playing with slime and getting a sneak peak at their new Making Music Exhibit!

So grateful to for bringing me in to photograph both the rehearsal and opening night performance of Kaija Saariaho’s opera Adriana Mater last month.

It was such an wonderful performance to both photograph and hear. I love that my job gives me the opportunity to be a part of so many amazing experiences.

A bit belated but I still wanted to share these sweet photos from fantastic Pride event, Fantastic Field Days at Presidio Park last month.

So much fun getting to watch do an amazing performance to open the celebration that day.
