I offer portrait, fashion, and branding photo sessions in my East Bay photography studio. Located in Emeryville, CA , the studio boasts 1300 sq. ft of natural light shooting space to make your photo shoot a comfortable and inspiring affair. The studio's large windows make for beautiful and flattering lighting all day long. My studio is stocked with ProFoto lighting gear to ensure the perfect lighting for your closeup, whether we are going for a dramatic look or a minimalist aesthetic. Since I have my own studio space, use of the location is included in your session fee.

A Relaxed Environment for your Portrait Photoshoot

How I shoot: I love the flexibility and low pressure feel of using natural light. It's my favorite lighting approach for getting you feeling relaxed and in your element, capturing candid photos of you that are simple and allow for your true essence to shine through. The photo studio is equipped with a huge variety of colorful backgrounds, always including my go-to favorites: white, black, gray, and beige.

I also use Profoto strobe lighting for in studio portraits, which is the top choice for a professional photographer. I create crisp, beautiful, skin-flattering lighting. Using the very best prime lenses and consistent lighting, I emphasize your eyes and bring out your features with clear direction and posing.

Authentic moments: My goal is to make you feel at home with a welcoming and relaxed photoshoot setting. The welcoming and bright photo studio is a nice and contained environment where we won't be interrupted and can focus on the images we're creating without any distractions. I invite you to bring your own music, take breaks when you want, and do whatever you need to feel at ease. I am there for you and strive to make the shoot focused on capturing your true style and expression.
