For over fifteen years, I've been documenting life's most precious moments throughout Lathrop and the surrounding communities. Whether it's engagement photos among the century-old Zinfandel vines at Jessie's Grove, family portraits at Lathrop Lake Nature Area when the oak trees turn amber in fall, or helping local businesses showcase their products and services with compelling commercial photography—my camera has become my voice in telling the unique stories of the people who call this corner of California home.
There's a moment I live for as a photographer in Lathrop. It happened just last month at a vineyard wedding at Mettler Family Vineyards—that split second when the bride first saw her groom waiting at the altar, framed perfectly by rows of ripening grapes and bathed in that signature golden San Joaquin Valley light. My camera captured what words never could: tears forming in the corner of her eye, the subtle quiver of her smile, and the gentle way her father squeezed her hand before letting go.
I often tell my clients that photography in Lathrop isn't just about capturing images—it's about preserving the feeling of this place we call home. The way afternoon light filters through the Downtown Lathrop arch, casting long shadows across School Street during the Farmers Market. The vibrant energy of the Lathrop Grape Festival or the intimate moments shared between couples amid the historic buildings of the Lathrop Beer Company or Rosewood Bar & Grill.
What sets my work apart isn't just technical skill or professional equipment—it's my deep connection to this community and understanding of what makes Lathrop special. From the vineyards of Victor to the charming neighborhoods of Woodbridge and the scenic rural landscapes of Acampo, I bring local knowledge and artistic vision to every session.
As your photographer, I don't just show up with a camera—I arrive with intention, ready to tell your unique story through images that will become treasured keepsakes for generations. Whether you're planning your dream wedding, need updated family portraits, or require professional commercial photography for your business, I bring the same level of dedication and creativity to every project.
