Pictures of the people and animals you love.

Sacramento area & happy to travel

No stiff poses, no fake laughing-at-nothing. I keep it loose, let people (and dogs, and one very opinionated cat) be themselves, and take the picture when it actually happens.

Hi, I'm Alec.

I shoot portraits and pets, mostly — plus videos, birthdays, weddings, and whatever else you have going on. I work with a Nikon Z50 and a lot of patience, which turns out to be the important half.

Sessions are relaxed. We pick a spot, go for a walk, and I take pictures while you get on with it. If your dog will not sit still, that is fine. Some of my favorite frames are the ones where nobody was ready.

Weddings and events too — I've done birthdays and weddings so far, and I'm open to just about anything else.

Let's make something

Tell me a little about what you have in mind and I'll get back to you with availability and rates. No obligation, no sales pitch.

Portraits — solo, couples, seniors, headshots
Pets — at home, at the park, wherever they're happiest
Families — including the dog, obviously
Events — birthdays, weddings, and the rest
Video — ask me about it
