Meet your Mammoth Lakes Photographer

Hi, I’m J.R. and I’m so excited to connect with you!

I’ve lived in the Eastern Sierra for over 3 years and love working with couples and families who appreciate this wondrous landscape as much as I do.

In my photography, I look for the magic that already exists around us and in us. That’s one of the reasons I prefer shooting outdoors, to let the beauty of nature guide us and create a relaxing feel for our session. I want to hear the story of how you met and fell in love to help authentically capture your connection.

When I’m not Photographing, you can catch me out climbing, skiing or backpacking in the mountains. my partner and I love roading tripping around in our old truck, Harriet the Chariot. I also make fine art and have a small studio at our local community art center C5 Studio right in the heart of Bishop.

LOVE is LOVE

I value the beauty of every individual, irrespective of body shape, gender, or ethnicity, or religion.

  • In my sessions, I embrace inclusivity by respectfully showcasing the unique qualities of each client.

  • Whether you identify as male, female, non-binary, or any other way, and regardless of your background or skin color, I strive to ensure you feel seen, valued, and represented.

  • Allow me to capture your authentic self, highlighting the wonderful diversity that makes you who you are.
