I am always honored to capture people’s most cherished moments in life.


19 years later and here I am, living my best life as a boutique photographer here on the beautiful Central Coast of California.


Over the years, I’ve had the distinct privilege of attending world-renowned photography seminars, studying under some of the industry’s most respected artists, and collaborating with highly sought-after wedding and portrait photographers. I’ve also had the pleasure of sharing my own expertise through workshops, one-on-one mentorship, and speaking engagements, offering insight into my creative process and photographic journey.

My work has taken me across the country, documenting weddings and portraits in a variety of beautiful settings. It is always an honor to travel and preserve life’s most meaningful moments with intention and artistry. Some of my most cherished destinations include Hawaii, Alaska, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, and New Orleans—each celebration a unique reflection of place, story, and connection. In 2026, I look forward to an exciting new chapter as I photograph my first international wedding, a milestone that feels both inspiring and deeply rewarding.

“I love spending time with my husband and family. I’m blessed with three amazing boys, all of whom have achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. My two oldest sons proudly serve as Marines, making me an incredibly proud Marine mom.”

When I am not behind the camera you can find me...

The great outdoors

I try to spend as much time outdoors because hiking, walking along the beach with our dogs, wine tasting, and entertaining with friends in our backyard is what I live for. People are my Passion!

A few of my favorite things...

Must-Have- At least one cup of coffee daily

Can’t live without-  God, Family, Friends, my fur babies, and chocolate

Dream Vacation- 2 weeks off on a tropical vacation

Proud Moments- I have 3 incredible boys and all 3 are Eagle Scouts. 2 of them are Marines

Fun Fact-  I was the very 1st baby born in Kodiak, Alaska at the only hospital on the island. As a matter of fact it wasn’t completely finished when my amazing Mom delivered me. Yep, I was born in a make-shift maternity room.

Think we're a great fit
