your vibe. your story. your own beat.
(i'll bring the camera.)
THE MYOWNBEAT STORY: The name myownbeat reflects the blend of artistic inspiration and perseverance that defines my approach to photography.
I happen to have a rich background in counseling and identity-based education, which informs my artistic approach and allows my work to extend far beyond the lens. I take the time to learn and understand each client's story or brand journey to ensure their photos capture their unique vibe.
When we work together, you're not just getting an ordinary photographer.
You're getting me: the coach, the counselor, the mama and the creative artist!
My expertise with inspiring joy, confidence and individuality will certainly empower YOU to walk to your own beat – making every photograph a true reflection of your identity and real personality!
born this way
(about me!)
I am a San Diego-based photographer known for my captivating portraits and personalized branding. My journey began with a manual film camera, and I fell in love with photography, mastering the art of photographic printmaking in my high school darkroom.
Yes, film. Yes, the smell of chemicals, waiting till I made my prints to see if the shot worked. The patience I developed along the way and the love I have for working with folks to capture the real, unstructured moments, certainly stayed with me.
So many have told me that they LOVE that i walk to my own beat and some people feel threatened by it. I EMBRACE it. I was born this way. I could not live my life any other way.
When we work together, you're not just getting a photographer. You're getting me: the coach, the counselor, the mama and the creative artist, showing up as my full self. You'll feel that energy and be inspired to feel less like you are "being photographed" and much more like you are just being yourself!
My work extends far beyond the lens.
You're not just booking an ordinary photographer. You're getting me: the coach, the counselor, the mama and the creative artist!
