Hey, it’s Chlo!

I’m a documentary photographer based in Costa Mesa, CA.

I fell in love with photography when I was young. I remember taking my first camera on a trip to Colorado but never dreamed it would be something I could turn into a career. Photography started as a hobby and a gift to those in my inner circle, but over time it became evident there was more to it than just a simple hobby.

For me, photography is a way to give back. So much of the world is full of people needing something from someone else. To be able to give the gift of telling other people’s stories is an absolute privilege.

I’m particularly drawn to capturing the ordinary. I love the in between pieces that create a moment. I want to capture the main story line but also the details you wouldn’t remember other wise.

When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me hanging with my husband, doing something musical, or making something in my kitchen.
