Do what you love and love what you do, they say… but it’s truly something special when you get to combine two of your life’s passions, theatre AND photography. As a performer myself, I love photographing theatre and contributing to our arts community here in the desert.

These are some of the beautiful productions and talented performers I’ve have the pleasure of photographing this past season and all of them are nominated for Desert Star Awards tomorrow! 🌟

Thank you to the theatres featured here! Palm Canyon Theatre Desert Ensemble Theatre La Quinta High School Theatre PDHS Theatre | Aztec Arts Academy

Grab your girls and get to Palm Springs 🌴

My first time here was a girls trip in 2012. We rented a midcentury house in North Palm Springs and I was enchanted by all the desert had to offer. That very trip is the reason I live here now! Take the trip! You never know, it might change your life! 🌴 Now I get to photograph these moments to encourage others to Visit Palm Springs!
