Based out of the DMV (lol no, not the one you're thinking of but DC, Maryland, and Virginia) but traveling to wherever your heart takes me. Specializing in modernly authentic photographs, I capture the best parts of you to fall in love with for a lifetime.

A little bit about me:

I was born and raised in Southern California which means Dodgers, Del Taco, traffic, and skateboarding have been infused in my very being. With the latter being what actually got me into photography. Donโ€™t tell anyone, but I always wanted to be a staff photographer/filmer for Thrasher magazine.

After spending some time having amazing opportunities getting to skate and film alongside skateboarders I looked up to when I was younger, I decided I should go to film school to further my craft.

Who knew that's where I would meet my amazing wife whom we would have an equally amazing daughter who naturally got my ravishingly good looks from but my wife's tremendous talents. Or at least that's what I tell myself since she has all of her good looks and talents lol.

After finishing school I had the incredible opportunity to work with a wonderful lifestyle brand that allowed me to work together with some of the greatest talents in the music industry. Allowing me to travel and capture things I have never dreamt I would be able to.

Then the recession hit. The industry was stagnant. And there started a new journey and chapter in my life, which was to move all of us out east to the great state of Virginia.

2,656 miles and 5 days later, we completed our drive from Los Angeles to Virginia. All in a Scion Xa with 2 cats, an American Staffordshire Terrier, and a 4 month old.

Hands down, one of the best experiences I've ever had in my life. Do yourself a favor. Take some time to drive across this great nation of ours. It's spectacular...I digress.

Now here you are. Reading the end of this 'About Me' (if you made it this far haha) and hopefully think, "I'd really love to have Jeff photograph us!" or at least, "How was it really driving across the country in a Scion Xa with 2 cats, an American Staffordshire Terrier, and a 4 month old.?"

I'd love to tell you all about, but first, Tell me about you ๐Ÿ˜Š
