Howdy!
Hi, I’m Claire! I’ve been called “a collector of cool people” by those who know me best. They say you’re only as good as the company you keep, and mine’s pretty rad, if I’m going by the last dinner party I hosted. I credit my ability to connect with the best humans to a trait I value in myself and others: honesty. Whether you’re having a classic Central Coast wedding celebration, capturing the story of your small business, or looking for bold images that show your style, my goal is to see and celebrate honest experiences. I’m a classically trained film photographer with a lengthy list of accomplishments in the Hospitality industry. When I’m not behind the camera, I might be selling beer for SLO-based There Does Not Exist, driving up and down the coast in my 1997 Ford pickup truck, Etty, chasing my nine chickens through my backyard in Ventura, or biking alongside my partner, Brian. In the summer, I grow tomatoes, and I always have a project in progress. If you follow me on social, you’ll see my dog, Pepper, and my horse, Nash.
