My family owns a ranch here in the Central Valley, and their cotton fields did great this year. The fields looked like a blanket of snow, and it was one of the most successful crops they’ve had in years. I captured some images of the fields before they picked the cotton, and this is one of my favorites. I love the sunset in the background, and I think this image perfectly captures the beauty of the Central Valley. Enjoy!

Seeing Red
Photographing this image was tedious but also lots of fun! It took a couple of tries to get this light painting effect just right, but I think that it was worth the effort. Light painting is a fun photography technique and this photo has inspired me to employ it more often. Enjoy!
High Above
I took this photo while flying above Nevada on my flight home. The views from the plane window were beautiful, and it was nice to get some photos from a different point of view. Enjoy!
B&W Train
I quickly got my camera out as I waited for the train to pass, and I was able to capture this shot. I thought that the train’s reflection in the water puddle made this an interesting image. Enjoy!
Change of the Season
I took this photo of the trees’ reflection in the water, and turned it upside down. I thought this image was a great one to post for the start of the fall season! Happy fall!
Feels Like Summer
This picture reminds me of summer memories when I’d go swimming with friends on hot days. I love the water reflection and shade of blue in this image. This photo feels like summer to me. Enjoy!
Black & White Trees
Sierra Nevada Mountains • 2021
I took this photo over the weekend while up at my family’s cabin. I like the contrast of the light sky with the dark trees. Enjoy!
Climbing Koala
I took this image awhile ago at the San Diego zoo. I like the greenery in the back and the blurred plants. Enjoy!
Homeless Crisis
Alameda, CA • • • 2021
I took this image while near downtown Alameda. This is a street that’s actually blocked off because the roads are so densely lined with homeless camps and and abandoned cars. It’s astonishing to witness how severe the homeless crisis is in California.
Feline Portrait
I took this photo of my cat awhile back. I like how she’s looking directly at the camera in this photo. It was difficult to get her to focus so I’m glad I was able to capture this photo! Enjoy!
