Getting to know me is an essential step on our journey together, as we'll share an intimate space built on trust and connection.

First and foremost, I'm a proud mother to a 19-year-old. I am surrounded by an incredibly supportive and affectionate family who share my love for food, pool days, movie nights, and holidays spent together under one roof. My friends and fellowship are also a huge part of who I am, helping me discover more about myself daily. I cherish moments with like-minded people who embody ambition, love, and respect.

My love for travel will take me on many adventures throughout 2024, and I am thrilled about the big changes ahead. I deeply enjoy my photography craft; it takes me to beautiful places, introduces me to amazing people, and lets me witness incredible moments in their lives. I also run a beauty brand, mentor an amazing team, and write and photograph for two local magazines. I am so grateful for this full life. Truly blessed is an understatement, even when considering the lessons and hardships. I know I am on the right path and that I am not alone.

My journey as a photographer spans over 24 years in my home in Northern California. It began in high school in the late '90s and included four years of managing a portrait studio. By the time I turned 19, I was already assisting in photographing weddings back when it was still film. I studied at the Academy of Art in San Francisco and completed a year in film school online during COVID to add more of my passions to my business. I have had two mentors over the years who have taught me a lot in different areas, plus many role models in my field who inspire me daily. Throughout the years, I've had the privilege of creating portraits for families, businesses, beauty, and boudoir, capturing life's most significant moments. The joy and abundance this work brings me are immeasurable. I often find myself shedding tears of happiness while photographing weddings.

My style has evolved through real-life experiences and the art of storytelling. I infuse an editorial flair with a touch of lifestyle while aiming to capture the emotions that resonate in each frame. I proudly dub myself a "Light and Shadow Chaser."

A few years ago, I ventured into filmmaking, creating captivating films for high school seniors, families, and local businesses. There's magic in the moving parts of a film that always captivates me. These films capture our affection for ourselves, our surroundings, our zest for life, and our bonds with one another.

I genuinely adore what I do. So, let's connect and embark on another creative adventure together. I'm eager to learn about your unique story and how we can document it together.
