I've covered everything from San Francisco corporate events, conferences, and galas to witchy somatic dance workshops. I know when to silently blend in and when to draw something out of the crowd. Let's make it look like everything went as planned — even when it didn't.

You currently have one head — let's make it work for you. Your photos are out there meeting people while you sleep. San Francisco headshots, LinkedIn photos, portraits that get at something underneath — come to the studio or I'll drop by. Humor and kindness make it all less weird.

There's a sly finesse to guiding you through a San Francisco or Bay Area wedding — chaotic, genuine, and probably involving an open bar. I know when to include your mother-in-law's joy and when to distract her elsewhere. City Hall, queer weddings — all get the same artistry.

The shoot people are most nervous about yet most glad they did. Easy as trying on fun outfits with a friend who magically knows your angles. San Francisco boudoir photography — vintage furniture, natural light, or maybe your place is killer. Do it for a partner, do it for yourself.

I love to shoot old school film while traveling. And queer joy in the woods, because the eyeshadow is the window to the soul.

About

I love creating imagery with comfort, reaction, and honesty — it's hard to dismiss the charm of a story told true. As long as that truth involves retouching your bangs.

I started photographing society events in my early 20s in NYC for a bizarre boss and have now been to Judge Judy's house, which honestly made it worth it.

There were no better celebrities in NYC, so I moved to San Francisco in 2025 with a 16-year layover in DC.

Photography remains the happening that brings me continual joy and anecdotes.

I really did get a perfectly good BFA Degree in Photography, but no one cares.

"I needed publicity photos for a solo cabaret show. Cassidy knew exactly what to do and walked me through the experience. My agent loved them, and I've worked with him for years since."
