About

Hi there! I am a professional portrait and lifestyle photographer based in San Diego, CA. The most important part of creating a fantastic finished product comes down to one word: communication! From before the shoot we will brainstorm on how we can make your shoot as meaningful as possible. The details matter - location, clothing, and time of day mean the world. I create timeless images with bold color, light, and strong concepts, usually with elements of nature. I have worked as a photographer for approximately 5 years and am so grateful for the lifestyle that it provides and for all the kind people I am able to meet. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions, crazy ideas, or just to say hello :) Dave

It was a great experience working with David. He was prompt and well experienced. I hired him for a surprise proposal. He gave me a recommendation on where to go, along with where to stand, and we did a quick 15 minute session after the proposal. If you are looking for a photographer in San Diego, don't overthink it. Give David a hire!

We couldn't have been happier with our 1yr wedding anniversary photo session with David! He handled our last minute planning and out of town naivety with ease by suggesting a perfect meeting location and beautiful area for our session right near our hotel. He is a fantastic photographer who makes you feel comfortable during the session while also producing high quality work with a quick turn around. If you're in need of a photographer in San Diego (we opted for Coronado), then don't hesitate to book with David!
