About Me

Since I was a child, I have taken photographs of everything that I could. I loved taking candid photographs of family and friends in my small hometown of Fort Bragg, CA along the Mendocino Coast. I have had a passion for travel since I was young and loved taking photographs of the wonderful places around the world which I have had the privilege to visit. I've been blessed with opportunities to work on my photography craft in places like Europe, Africa, Australia and New Zealand, and my favorite travel destination of all, Hawai'i.


I am a world traveler, adventurer, mother, and wife. My photography is honest, sincere, and intimate and I approach each event and each session with attention to detail and patience with my clients' interests and ideas always at heart.


My primary focus with my photography is on the beauty and raw emotion found in each moment and I put my heart and soul into my work. I am open to all types of photography, but specialize in family portraits, events such as Birthday parties, baby showers, engagement and senior portraits . My dedication and passion to the art form is evident in each and every photograph I take.


Every session and every client gives me an opportunity to expand my understanding of love, life, and beauty in the world around us. I look forward to creating lifelong relationships with my clients and helping them capture and memorialize their most precious moments.


Thanks again for visiting,
