Hi, I’m Adam—a photographer, filmmaker, husband, and father based in Orange County, California.
I create portraits that feel authentic because I work with you, not just direct you. My background in film taught me to capture genuine moments and honest emotions—skills I now bring to every session, whether it’s boudoir, personal branding, lifestyle, or events.
My Story & Why I Work This Way
From filmmaker to photographer
My background in film taught me that the best moments happen between the “action” and “cut”—those genuine, unguarded seconds when people are just being themselves. That’s what I’m always looking for now as a photographer.
I realized early on that heavily directed sessions felt too artificial for me. I’m much better at creating a comfortable environment where real moments can happen naturally. Maybe it’s because I’m naturally conversational, or because being a father has made me more patient and intuitive about people’s comfort levels.
The personal side
What really drives me is that moment when a client sees their photos and says “I can’t believe that’s me.” It happens because we captured something real—not a performance, but their authentic self in beautiful light.
I talk about my kids, make terrible jokes, and genuinely enjoy getting to know the people I photograph. That’s not a technique—it’s just who I am. But it creates sessions that feel more like hanging out with a friend who happens to be really good with a camera.
Beyond the camera
When I’m not photographing, I’m with my wife and two kids here in Orange County. Being a father has made me even more respectful of the trust clients place in me, especially during vulnerable moments like boudoir sessions.
I genuinely love this work—not just the technical craft, but the human connection and the opportunity to help people see themselves beautifully. Every session is different because every person is different, and that’s what makes this meaningful for me.
If you’re curious about working together, I’d love to hear from you.
