The photographer behind Ete Studios. A down-to-earth photographer born and raised in California, shaped by the rhythm of the West Coast with a deep love for its light, landscapes, and easy going energy. My journey in this life has taken me around the world, exploring new cultures, meeting incredible people, and finding inspiration in both the grand and the quiet, in-between moments. No matter where I go, I always carry a piece of the West Coast with me—and an easygoing energy that helps people feel at home.

CONNECTION. AUTHENTICITY. THE IN-BETWEEN.
I’m drawn to —
Photography isn’t just about perfect images; it’s about the connection shared between people, landscapes, and the feelings that arise during your session. I believe the most powerful images come from genuine moments, which is why I focus on creating a relaxed, comfortable space where you can simply be yourself. With gentle art direction and guidance (since we're not professional models) to gently help guide candid moments, I document your story as it naturally unfolds— the quiet glances, the soft touches, the in-between moments that often mean the most.
Your images will feel both refined and real - those intimate, genuine, sweet moments that deserve to be remembered exactly as they felt.
