People often describe me as having contagious energy—a goofy, joy-filled spirit who’s always laughing and bringing others along for the ride. I’m deeply passionate about what I do, and nothing lights me up more than helping others feel happy, seen, and completely at ease in front of the camera.
My husband and I live in beautiful Sonoma County with our four amazing kids, two dogs, two cats, and a bunch of fish. It's a loving, loud, happy circus over here-and I wouldn't have it any other way.
We're a busy, homeschool family, always on the go with sports and activities. If I'm not behind the camera, you'll likely find me carpooling between practices, cheering my kids on at baseball games and cheerleading competitions, or hanging out by our pool. I also love hiking, running and working out, paddle boarding, traveling, or adventuring with family and friends. Fun fact... I love to host parties and bring people together, and could eat tacos and muffins every day.
Life is full-and I truly thrive in the chaos.
While I have always had a love for capturing the moment and been the crazy girl obsessed with taking pictures, trying to capture every single memory, my photography journey began in 2016. That was when my husband bought me my first "real" camera. Moments are so fleeting that I wanted to document every little detail and milestone in our children's lives, and the love we all shared. Not only that, but I have been so lucky to be surrounded by such endless beauty here in Northern California.
It didn't take me long to fall in love with photography. I was determined to learn as much as possible, so I dove headfirst into online workshops, webinars, and YouTube videos. I started posting pictures I had taken of my kids on Facebook, and before I knew it, I was taking photos for friends and family. Soon after, I started getting inquiries asking if I was taking bookings. I was shocked at the time because I never intended to do this full-time. It was just something that I loved to do. However, it got me thinking how incredible it would be to not only create a memorable experience for other people, but to tell their unique love story, by creating meaningful keepsakes for them to forever cherish. I mean, how awesome of a "job" would that be?! So...with the encouragement and support of my family and friends, I decided to take the plunge and turn my passion into a career. From there, my journey took off!
