San Jose photography, from the ground and the air.

I shot before I built websites, and I still shoot. Real estate and aerial work is the bulk of it, plus commercial, weddings, and events. If you are already having me build the site, having the same person shoot the photos means the two actually match.

What I shoot

Real estate & listings

Interiors, exteriors, and twilight shots that make a listing worth clicking. Fast turnaround, because listings are time-sensitive.

Aerial & drone

Property, neighborhood, and site context from the air — the shot that shows a buyer where a home actually sits.

3D virtual tours

Walkthroughs that let a buyer move through the space before they book a viewing.

Weddings, events & personal

Documentary more than posed. I would rather catch the moment than direct it.

Need photos, a site, or both?

If you are having me build the site anyway, having the same person shoot the photos means the imagery is made for the layout instead of squeezed into it.
