BEHIND THE LENS
ABOUT claire
It's a pleasure to meet you.
Growing up, I spent hours immersed in my family's photographs from the past, often accompanied by stories that would weave even deeper richness into every frame. I came to notice how a photograph holds more than an image; it carries an essence, a life that resonates through time. My work is to capture that essence for others, so their stories continue to echo gently in the threads of memory where future generations will find us, and where we often rediscover ourselves.
my journey
where i'm from
Raised in Encinitas, where beaches and sunsets inspire awe, I developed a deep bond with nature. Immersed in a creative household filled with lyrical conversation and fine art, my passion for artistry blossomed as I learned to translate the beauty around me into poetic expression.
how i started
At 11, I began documenting my surroundings, capturing the essence of childhood in my friends and the landscapes that embraced us. My hobby evolved into a career, and by 13 I was offering professional photography services.
from photo to film
My passion for storytelling naturally led me to filmmaking, and by 15, I was directing commercials and short films for leading brands. Photography remains at the core of my creative work, but as I grow in both fields, each discipline continues to enrich the other.
ABOUT YOU
They want images that feel authentic and beautifully composed—artful moments with an aesthetic touch that’s different from the usual posed family photos. They look for a photographer who brings a thoughtful approach to every frame, someone who captures the quiet beauty and natural flow in each moment.
My clients are seekers of beauty, lovers of art, inspired by nature and attuned to details that often go Unnoticed
