Hi, I'm Cliff —
a designer-turned-photographer based in Washington.

After years in the design world creating brand campaigns, motion graphics, and visual content for nonprofits and startups, I traded agency life for the camera. That background still shapes everything I shoot: composition, tone, color, and the rhythm of a good story.

I work across weddings, portraits, personal brand content, events, and real estate — wherever there's a moment or a story worth capturing well. I shoot entirely on-location and collaborate closely with every client to build a relaxed, creative space that brings out their best.

Whether it's a once-in-a-lifetime milestone, a brand that needs to stand out, or a space that needs to sell, I bring the same thing to each: clarity, intention, and an eye trained by design.

Got something in mind? Let's talk.

A person wearing sunglasses, a white baseball cap, and a maroon shirt is sitting outside near a wooden table with green plants. They are holding a black book with white and beige text that says, "READ THIS IF YOU WANT TO TAKE GREAT PHOTOGRAPHS." A garden hose is watering the plants, and water droplets are visible. The background includes a house with large windows and a sliding door.
