WHY BRANDS CHOOSE ME
Photographer, creative director, product stylist
and analytics to produce imagery that resonates and converts. My roots run deep in photography, too—my mom is an award-winning family photographer, and I got my start assisting her. After studying art history and fashion, I moved to Paris, where I worked as a travel journalist (while chasing the perfect croissant). All of that influences how I see the world—and how I help brands tell their stories with style, strategy, and heart. I now live in San Diego with my husband, pup, and our twin babies.
Before launching my business, I worked behind the scenes at a leading wedding editorial brand, ran the photo and social department for an e-commerce boutique, and directed content for a Forbes-listed travel and family influencer. That experience gave me a unique perspective: I didn’t just create content—I got to see how it performed across platforms. It taught me how to blend art
THE BACKSTORY
INQUIRE HERE
Styled product photography is a curated approach to photographing products that goes beyond clean e-commerce shots. It uses intentional styling, props, lighting, and compositions to convey mood, context, and brand personality — while still keeping the product as the hero. These images are built to perform across web, paid ads, social, email, and wholesale platforms.
What is styled product photography?
Styled product photography is ideal for consumer brands that want imagery with intention — brands with developed packaging and design, cohesive visual identity, and products that benefit from emotional or contextual storytelling. It works especially well for beauty, wellness, home goods, apparel accessories, candles & home fragrance, and curated collections.
What brands is styled product photography best for?
Yes. While I’m based in San Diego, I work with brands nationwide. Oftentimes brands will fly a represenative out to California to join for a photoshoot, or they pass full production to me.
Do you work with brands outside of San Diego?
While commercial lifestyle photography often includes people, environments, and real-world use, styled product photography focuses primarily on the product itself, elevated through thoughtful styling and design. It sits between straightforward product shots and full lifestyle scenes, making it ideal for campaigns, hero imagery, and omnichannel content that needs both editorial polish and commercial clarity.
How is styled product photography different from lifestyle or commercial lifestyle photography?
This allows brands to walk away with:
- White or clean-background images for PDPs
- Styled brand photography for websites and ads
- Lifestyle imagery for social and brand storytelling
Do you shoot both e-commerce and lifestyle content?
