We met online when she responded to my Craigslist ad looking for a fashion photography model.

Her: Unlike others, she started her response with “I can help you build your portfolio”. In that moment, I knew I wanted to work with her - whether as a model or a colleague photographer - she spoke my language. Her focus on the customer caught my attention and I knew I was working with someone who is customer obsessed, caring and compassionate. We met for a coffee and I could tell she was meticulous, thoughtful and creative - a free spirit that was open to what life would bring her way. Having grown up as a photographer’s daughter, she was passionate, creative and she knew the technique. As a successful fashion model and an actor, she was versatile in the way she approached her career.

Myself: I am your every day Silicon Valley guy that has started and sold companies in his past. I was speaking with a friend recently and he said “at this stage in our life, we should be doing something we really love”. I remember spending countless hours printing photographs in my darkroom when others on campus were partying. And I was like “that was the most empowering moment of my life”. The reveal moment is one of the most gratifying events with a mixture of emotions and joy. It’s experiencing that joy in others that makes that moment worth it.

Us:We want to share our combined portfolio and joint creativity to our customers to help them create those memorable moments that last a lifetime.
