Photographer based in DTLA. I love fashion, fitness, and creative arts in general. I am a Northern Californian at my core but manage to blend in everywhere else.

Louis Verdad Denim&Silk from @style fashion week in Los Angeles

Teaser shot from Fridays shoot @theMainBarre in the Santa Fe building in #dtla. Audra is amazing and the peaceful studio has got to be one of the coolest places to train in the historic core. The neighbors must love the groups of girls flocking to the place in their @lululemon gear. #fitness #barre #themainbarre

what do we call these, smock, tunic, flowy cover up tops? when their are black i swear i have flashbacks of dating a beauty school teacher in my 20’s. so if it makes me think i’m at a salon an either getting my hair cut or you are rocking choir robe chic. Tough call but here she is doing just fine with color and print:) #dtla #fashion #street style

I just liked the way she was carrying her bag. it looked like an extension of her arm rather than something she was tasked to bear. #fashion #design #dtla

I would like this t shirt if so much more if it was not tucked in. And of course it would look terrible if untucked with this pant and shoe. So what do we do? we change the shirt to something that does more for her waist and does not cut her in half so much. color blocking is tricky if you dont draw a line with a belt or a contrasting color in between the two dominant ones. I dunno, she grabbed my eye and i like all her pieces separately. And why am i writing all of this? not too many read it anyway you people are like online cruisers you just want to see pics! And if you read this girlfriend, i’m not trying to criticize i’m sharing my styling thoughts. its preference. i’m still congratulating her on her expression! Trust me, lot of girls walk by looking like brick and mortar and i dont shoot their looks:P

Note to self. When you are walking across the street and that Balmain-esque print dress is just dancing all over my body and my pops of color are kicking and my rare yet perfectly sized bag are all working my look; DO NOT RAISE YOUR DRINK OR ANY OTHER DEVICE TOWARD MY FACE.  Gee, thanks Don good lookin out. I forgot that people are actually out on the street waiting to see what I put together. Exactly. #dtla #fashion

Great Green hues, and water is always fashionable, your big slurpee not so much.  Her skin shows that she stays hydrated! Models/actors take note of the presentation of a classy lady and apply, then watch doors open. #notjustdayofshoot #hydrate #dtla #fashion

Recognizing that men and women stand by and are prepared to help us when we need them. #grateful for my health but also peace of mind. @lafd, I always try to document their diligent work when i see them. They are very focused group and extremely personable. #dtla
