FOR FAMILIES & COUPLES IN
ORANGE COUNTY, CA

My heart in photographing your story is to capture realness, authenticity, and truth. Now while it’s happening. I will quietly come into your personal space to document a beautiful day or a milestone event that you can revisit whenever you desire. You will be able to feel your 4-year old hugging you again. You will sense the chaos of building blanket forts in your first home, and the messy waffle making that followed. I strongly believe that the mundane every day stuff is worth preserving along with first birthdays, senior portraits and family reunions. 

My mission is to leave you with a seamless experience and a visual story you can preserve and display. My style lands on brighter true-to-color tone and narrative black and white.  I use a combination of photojournalism and directed documentary posing.

Time is valuable and it’s fleeting. Let me give you some of the clock back so you can preserve your own family memories, grow your business, or simply just breath. My background in photography has only added to my toolbox for understanding how a finished image should be delivered. Helping other photographers edit their galleries has been a joy for me.

About 9 years ago, I discovered that I truly love editing - as in I find complete satisfaction at the close of each catalog.I love uncovering the story of each gallery that is sent my way.  Sometimes I get the back story from my clients. The ones I don't, well, I just make up my own. XO

 

I fell in love with the camera as a child, and have never stopped pursuing my craft.

I took one of those online personality tests for no reason. Of course, I'm a skeptic on those. Aren't you?  Well, I was corrected when it nailed me! I am a Defender. I am by nature the one who wants to help others, keep them organized, and listen to their needs. I am kind and choose empathy over judgement. I genuinely enjoy helping others be successful! Yes, and those are just a few things that test was spot on about.  [giggle]

I am blessed to be married to the same amazing guy for over 33 years! I married young, right?! My two inspiring littles are big now at 24 & 27. However, I still have my fur babies home every day who love me without the sass. Above all, Jesus has my heart and my life. Pictures have a certain ability to enhance and sometimes change lives. They can bring people and their stories to life for a positive impact. Besides serving people for Christ, this has always been my personal passion. xo
