I began my freelance career in January of 2009, when I was laid off from a newspaper job I held for three years -- the result of challenging economic times. However, the layoff was a blessing in disguise, enabling me to pursue stories and personal projects that I deeply care about.

Since then, I have been shooting for publications such as the Guardian (UK), National Public Radio, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Wall Street Journal, Mother Jones Magazine, US News & World Report, and many others.

My work has also been published in Inc Magazine, Open Society Foundations, Time Magazine, The Magazine Group, Town & Country, Washington Post, Foto8, PDN's Photo of the Day blog, PDN's Emerging Photographer Editor's Picks, NPR's The Picture Show, Slideluck Potshow DC IV and V, and Youth Radio.

Commercial clients include: Amuse Bouche Wines, Bentley Magazine, Ceja Vineyards, Hermes Paris, Kirsten Muenster Jewelry, Speedo, Syrup NYC, and Tufts University.

I am a member of Wonderful Machine and a Getty Images Artist. In 2004, I received my BA in Photojournalism from San Francisco State. I live in the outer lands of San Francisco, where the City meets the Ocean.

Please contact me directly for assignments, projects, and licensing editorial images.
