Ready to be seen in your brightest light?
With over 20 years of experience facilitating personal growth & photographing world-class artists, brands, and visionaries, I bring a unique blend of creative direction, visual storytelling, and transformational coaching to every shoot. From global brands to spiritual leaders, my lens has always been drawn to the same thing: the essence of light.
Because when your light is reflected back to you honestly, something awakens. You remember who you are. You remember what you’re here to share. Transformational photography is where creativity meets consciousness, and where your story becomes a mirror for your purpose.
Whether you’re a brand, artist, coach, musician, healer, or performer, this is about bringing your vision to life in a way that feels real and resonant. This is what conscious branding is. No more soul sucking shoots and dreading creating content.
Together, we’ll create art that mirrors your essence and amplifies your voice so that the world feels your truth before you ever speak it.
Let’s capture your magic. Let’s amplify your light.

🌟 Another year around the sun is complete! And it was filled with magnifying visions and illuminating the essence of life.✨
I’m used to change, but this past year has been unusually full of massive shifts. From living in a new city, to starting a new relationship and launching a new company that’s already kicking on Amazon (@one11.life ) for all natural skincare and #ozonetherapy. 🌿
Birthday gift?! Share @one11.life with your community! We put our whole hearts into this and we are just getting started!

Birthday gift to myself? Helping more humans shine their light. We’re full on in the year of the Fire Horse now…. LFG 🎬📿🔥 🐎
📸🔎 Over 20 years behind the lens has taught me one thing: Everyone has a story worth capturing, and magic can be found in even the seemingly smallest of moments.
I entered an art competition for a cause that genuinely matters to me. YOU CAN VOTE FOR ME DAILY (🔗 in bio) and I’d deeply appreciate your support. You can share and vote for free or donate.
@theartofelysium holds a real place in my heart & history, and winning would let me put resources behind programs I actually believe in, like @themankindproject and Boys to Men Mentoring.
This is the first time I’m sharing these pieces publicly.
A limited selection of drawings from a mystic collection that has been moving through me for 3 years. Each one a prayer. Not metaphorically. Literally.
Miracles have moved through the making of them. For me and for people who asked me to channel a piece for them. Fertility. Love. Clarity. Peace. Things that don’t “make sense” by matrix standards, but show up anyway. I learned the power of these pieces the hard way, fast, and had to become more intentional with each piece. Be careful what you wish for, right? I’m still in a little shock and I’m excited to share more.
These pieces carry something sacred for me. I’ll leave it at that.

LOVE CRINGE MAXXING - CHOOSING LOVE is a whole other ball game. We had our 1 year Anniversary on May 1st. Neither one of us can believe it’s been a year. Us both leaving LA after 16 years and regrouping in the woods. Magic has been brewing.
🎞️ My last big reel of us was of our 1st 6 months, so this one hits our magical Hot Springs anniversary tradition and our last 6 months here in Nevada City. Highlight reel - of course. 📸 I’ll try and take some artsy photos of us existential, frustrated and emotional, so I can get a more well rounded next six months for you all. 😂
🙏🌀 I’m extremely blessed for the level of healing and repair and medicine that’s been possible through this partnership. Deeply grateful for all of the work this man has done and continues to do. It’s life-changing being able to walk beside someone in our expansion.
🗓️ Upcoming LA in JUNE, INDIA in JULY.
Deep gratitude to Swamiji and our spiritual home @hansavedas .
Huge NorCal love to @choquierochocolate for the cacao cafe of our dreams. To @sierrahotsprings and @crystalhermitagegardens 🌸 at Ananda! Hugs to the Rosebud Ranch Community. Big ups to @jaidev108 and the new music magic at @lifeforceacademy 🤘

I just published a letter on my substack to any and all men who will listen. From a man who won’t let himself off the hook. This piece dives into the background, facts, and solutions from the recent press around rape culture.
Inspired by navigating this with my partner @meganleejoy , my men’s work lens and my personal experience - the good, the bad and the ugly.
I strongly urge you to read this one & send it to one or many men. This one is going to take ALL OF US. I wrote this for all men, deep in the work to not at all.

May Peace Prevail On Earth • Full stop. I’m not playing into these scripts, narratives, storylines. War never. Liberation now. Support the people, not the bombs. Support humanity and not the military industrial complex.
We have enough money, resources and knowledge to create the world we desire. To literally end world hunger and heal the planet. But these puppets are directing us in this play of war instead. Using OUR money, resources and knowledge to ruin instead of reap benefit.
We cannot let them. The people have the power to take back the narrative by any means necessary. I will ironically quote Sparta by saying “Never give up. Never surrender!”.
Don’t let the war machine feed off of your energy. As a wise teacher of ours cautions, “Keep your peace”. That’s how peace prevails on Earth.

From pre-ceremony through post-ceremony, the joy was high. I was too excited to wait for our professional media, so here is a fun behind the scenes in the meantime!
The day was profound and profoundly fun. The full wisdom talk from @yawanawawira and @andreiayawanawa will be up on our PULSE Portal soon. This was their first time visiting from the Amazon to California and we were so honored to host their final ceremony. We were blessed up from traditional face painting and Sepa prayers, into a hapé ceremony and medicine music. Feeling so lucky and honored to be able to host the beauty and wisdom from the Amazon found in the divine union of these two amazing, honest and deeply authentic humans - Keneihu and Shawma, OBRIGADO for your guidance, humor, vulnerability, devotion and service.
Deep gratitude to @mariatierra_@lvjard and the whole team of bridgers making this possible! For @constanzaofficial and @riansweetmandoris for providing this gorgeous sanctuary of a home. To dear @kylee.flores7 for kicking all of this off and to the incredibly talented @nehajmusic and Anycha for their truly touching soul-music landing us all in.

I don’t know who needs this today so sharing something vulnerable….
It’s been a wild year with some MAJOR changes, and I’m just starting to settle into sharing more of this journey. If you’ve ever felt alone, searching for love in the world, this piece is for you. Check out the full piece on my Substack ❤️
“How many times have I prayed
for the kind of love that stays?
Too many to count
the number slipped past infinity long ago.
There was always that ache in my bones,
that whisper from somewhere deep….
calling me.
Beckoning me, to a place I hadn’t yet known.
Sometimes a murmur, sometimes a roar,
but always there.
I looked high and low, near and far,
chasing the horizon for “the one,”
until at last I found peace
in the simplicity of solitude.
And then, without warning,
a familiar knock at the door.
Her name was Joy.
I’d seen her before,
but never like this.
Lost in that timeless space,
the world fell away.
And for the first time in a long time,
I rested…safe, seen,
and finally unafraid to love again.”
Not the fairytale, something better. “All you need is love”…is not wholly accurate. On a spiritual level, yes. On a practical level, absolutely not. These past 6 months have reminded me that real love is an art form, and we are absolute works of art.
The last few years cracked me open in ways I didn’t know I could survive. Loss, caregiving, heartbreak, being stripped down and broken to the bone (literally) and rebuilding from the depths. The empathy I learned, I wouldn’t change for the world. I learned how to hold myself when no one else could. I learned presence the hard way, on the floor, pleading for God to take away the pain of despair.
Somewhere between surrender and stress, I stopped waiting for rescue. I began to flow with the river instead of fight it. Acceptance. Trust. Faith. Peace in the chaos.
And life kept life-ing. Health flare-ups. Caregiver burnout. Life burnout. Financial stressors. Grief that still visits unannounced. Launching new offerings while holding my family, my body, my dreams, all at once. Feeling broken and blessed. Tired and grateful. Terrified and wildly in love. Deeply human. More human than ever before.
I prayed for love to show up, not to fix me, but to meet me. To hold me. To remind me that partnership can be both medicine and mirror, devotion and play. In the contradictions of life, I already knew there was no “done healing” to be worthy of love, and I let myself be loved as I am (5 stars, highly recommend).
In one of the most difficult seasons of our lives - when no sane person would choose to begin a courtship - after years of friendship, God cosmically brought us back together to answer our prayers. One moment can change your entire life.
Six months in, and this love still feels like ceremony; conscious, crisis, human as hell, and holy in its honesty. Radical responsibility and transcendent joys. Not the fairytale kind, the real kind, and that in itself makes it the most magical of fairytales. The love that makes you laugh mid-tear, grow mid-trigger, and thank every hard thing that brought you to this moment.
Because after everything I’ve walked through…to be held like this?
That’s the miracle.
