Giving Back
Photography has always been about more than the image for me. It's about seeing what matters — and doing something about it.
A portion of every session goes back into the world. For the animals who need advocates. For the veterans who come home changed and find healing in the most unexpected places. For the ocean environment that makes my work possible.
This is how I show up beyond the camera.
01. SHELTER TO SOLDIER
Shelter dogs rescued and trained as psychiatric service animals for post-9/11 veterans. Every November I donate a full portrait session and custom artwork package to their annual Be the Light Gala silent auction.
The next gala is coming. In the meantime — meet the organization doing this extraordinary work.

02. ANNUAL CALENDAR CONTEST
Every year, dogs from across San Diego compete for a spot in a limited-edition coastal calendar — all in support of a local animal advocacy charity.
2027 year's charity partner? Still fetching one.
Check back soon — good things are worth waiting for.
03. 2% DONATION
Every non-discounted session gives back. Two percent of your purchase goes to the animal or marine charity of your choice — because the things worth photographing are worth protecting too. Here’s a few of my favorite charities.
