About me.

Hi! Nice to meet you…

If you’re reading this, you’ve probably booked a session or are considering me for your next shoot. Let me tell you, that makes my day!

I absolutely love what I do, and that is all due to clients like you. Capturing the real and raw moments driven by love is one of my greatest honors in this life.

My singular goal is to capture the essence of the love that bonds people together. Its often messy and chaotic - maybe the wind is blowing your hair around, the kids aren’t listening and the weather isn’t a bright sunny day. This is truly where the magic is found. Unrehearsed moments that reveal a crack into the real story of your family, your love. I’m here for it, and I see YOU!

Together we will create a glimpse of the experiences you will cherish forever. Thank you for entrusting me with your most treasured memories!

 
 
 
 

My photography story…

I never expected to be on this path. Photography was my Mother’s passion and when I was young, I was so impatient with all the stops and wanderings we would make so she could “get the perfect shot”.

I had always been interested in the arts, and even went to art college in 2002, moving from Maui to Orange County. I tried every medium I could get my hands on, but never got into photography.

After taking a black and white film class in 2015 on a whim, I caught the photography bug. I took a job in social media management and product photography, and officially branched out on my own and started my business in 2017.

I did product photography for years because the money was very good, but was never really passionate about it. It was only after my son Thorne was born that my heart opened to the beauty of pregnancy and women with their children.

I’m so grateful for this unplanned journey. I’ve never been so whole, as a Mother, a Wife and a human being.
