Discreet. Professional. Nimble. Trusted by cities, ports, police departments, and public agencies across California.
Whether we’re documenting a ribbon cutting, a multi-agency initiative, or an internal campaign across departments, my work flexes with the demands of your schedule — moving smoothly between high-rises, waterfronts, parks, city chambers, and the street.
Zero Micro-Managing
You don’t have time to babysit a photographer — and you shouldn’t have to. I show up prepared, understand the political nuance, and capture high-impact visuals without disrupting the flow of operations.
The stories of the work you do need to be told.
I document the important work of public agencies with clarity and care.This includes executive and staff portraits, law enforcement outreach, infrastructure and construction progress, parks and recreation materials, tourism and public space activations, and ceremonial moments like groundbreakings and international delegations.Whether you’re refreshing digital assets or coordinating across departments, I move fluidly between leadership levels and locations to deliver high-quality visuals with minimal disruption.

"There are not many photographers who understand the importance of making a water treatment facility worthy of a cover photo. And only one I know that can turn a series of rolled blueprints into print-worthy art."– Revekka Balancier, Founder, Axiom of Purpose
