Why I love what I do
Every day, I’m grateful that I’ve turned my passion into my profession. Holding a camera in my hands makes me feel like I’m exactly where I belong .
My creative spirit has always been with me, but my deep love for photography began back in fifth grade when I got my first digital camera. From that moment on, I’ve never stopped snapping photos and capturing the world through my point of view.
For me, photography isn’t just about pushing a button—it’s about freezing moments and preserving the emotions that come with them, so you can relive them whenever you want. What drives me is the genuine connection I get to share with each of my clients. I’m not just a photographer; I’m a friend, a confidant, a cheerleader, and a keeper of memories.
There’s something incredibly magical about capturing a fleeting moment—a laugh, a tear, a stolen glance—and turning it into something timeless, something you can hold onto forever. That’s the heart of why I do what I do.
Why choose me as your photographer?
I believe in keeping things simple and relaxed—just you, your loved ones, and real, natural moments. If you’re drawn to a carefree, effortless vibe and timeless images, then we’re definitely on the same wavelength.
Natural
From the moment we start, my goal is to make you feel like you’re hanging out with a friend. No awkward moments—just a relaxed, comfortable space where you can truly be yourself. I believe that’s when the best photos happen. Whether it’s a spontaneous laugh or a gentle touch, I focus on capturing real moments to ensure your photos feel authentic. It’s not about perfect poses—it’s about creating an experience where you feel free to just be.
Warm
Warmth is woven into every one of my shots. It's more than just a feeling, it’s the way the world looks during golden hour—making each moment feel alive with emotion. Through gentle tones and natural light, my approach adds a visual warmth that brings your photos to life, making them feel relaxed, inviting, and full of love.
True-to-life
I’m committed to preserving the real, raw beauty of every moment, staying true to the colors, emotions, and energy without exaggeration or artificial edits. The colors in my photos stay true—whether it’s the vibrant blues of the ocean, the lush greens of a forest, or the soft pastels of a sunset. The realness of the colors allows the emotions to shine through, making each image feel authentic, fresh, and full of life.
Timeless
I create images that stand the test of time—not too trendy, but not outdated either. The colors, composition, and style of each photo are designed to stay relevant and beautiful for years to come, so when you look back on them, they still evoke the same emotions as when they were taken. It’s about creating memories that last, without being tied to a passing trend—just pure, timeless moments. These aren’t just photos—they’re lasting memories.
Life in full color
My Style
Why settle for dull and drab when life is bursting with color? I'm committed to keeping my images true-to-life, with warm and vibrant hues, and flattering angles. I use a mix of candid moments and subtle direction. The colors in my photos are rich but never overdone, with earthy tones, soft pastels, and the occasional pop of vibrancy, all reflecting the true mood of the moment.
Behind the Lens-
I’ve always been drawn to the beauty of God's creation—the peacefulness of the water’s edge, the crisp mountain air, and the charm of small-town living. While I can appreciate the fast pace of city life, it's just not for me. I much prefer the slower, simpler moments of life.
I’m multi-passionate, with new ideas sparking almost daily, but one thing that’s always remained constant is my love for unfiltered moments—the real and beautiful pieces of life that make it all so special. I believe in living authentically and savoring the journey as it unfolds.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll likely find me spending time with my loved ones, going for a beach walk with my husband and our Golden Retriever puppy, Finn, while on the hunt for the best fish tacos in San Diego, or just soaking up the sun in our backyard. These are the moments that make life feel full.
Thanks for stopping by and letting me share a little bit of who I am. I can’t wait to get to know you!

While photography has forever remained a source of creative expression and a personal pastime, it wasn't until 2020 – a year that pushed us all beyond our comfort zones – that I summoned the courage to purse it as a full-time career.
College graduate

From photographer to bride
Oh how the roles reverse
On 7/11/24, I married my college sweetheart. Being a bride gave me a new perspective on weddings, deepening my understanding of the emotions and challenges my clients face. I know how much this day means, and I'm here to capture it with that in mind.
