Hi, I'm Caleb.

I've been taking pictures since I was 14. Everybody deserves a day they'll want to relive, and I'm the person who can bring that experience to life for you.

I spent a few years in advertising, supporting the people who run the show and planning the moments that bring a team together. I learned how brands tell stories, and I realized I cared most about the people inside them.

Now I photograph those people. Couples, grads, weddings, events, and small businesses. I shoot mostly on 35mm film because it captures how the day looks to me. The textures and the colors feel real, and they put you right back in that moment. When a project needs speed, I bring digital.

I take my time, and I want you to love your photos. I'm also fun to have around. At a wedding, I'm the one on the dance floor with the flash.

Most Saturdays you'll find me wandering San Diego with a camera. That feeling is what I try to put in every photo.
