The press has not been kind. The ongoing homeless crisis, coupled with years of uncertainty—from strikes and fires to riots and relentless economic pressures—has taken its toll. Many businesses have shuttered. Others, like mine, press on—refusing to let go of the dream. In true Spirit of the Blitz fashion, we endure.
I love Los Angeles. And I love DTLA. Its architecture, energy, and history are nothing short of extraordinary. That’s why I’m investing in this neighborhood—not just financially, but emotionally and artistically. My studio isn’t just a place to work; it’s a bastion of Downtown’s creative legacy, built to withstand the storms and uplift those who come through its doors.
To all the businesses still fighting the good fight in this city—this is a shout out to you. We are made of sterner stuff.
If you want to support DTLA, support its artists, its independent businesses, its soul. Book your next headshot session with me. Bring your story. Let’s create something lasting.
With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in headshots and portraiture for actors, professionals, corporate clients, and public figures. Every session is tailored, collaborative, and driven by a passion for revealing the authentic self.
Let’s keep DTLA alive—one portrait at a time.
