Let me tell you mine

A little about me. I love anything and everything creative. Making things look beautiful is my passion. Photography, fashion, design, art.

My perfect day consists of watching my kids play baseball, then heading to a winery in sunny Carmel Valley.

let's be friends

I was born and raised on the Monterey Peninsula, and I can't imagine living anywhere else. If I can't get to Big Sur in less than an hour, I don't want to move there. My parents used to take us camping in Big Sur, then I would go with friends as a teenager, and now my husband and I take our own kids there. It's a magical place, and I love being able to share all of my favorite secret spots with new clients.


I have a Bachelor's Degree in Telecommunications, Multimedia and Applied Computing and I worked as a Graphic Designer for ten years before I became a photographer. I love a good craft beer, I could eat sushi all day everyday, and most of time is spent with my kids and my French Bulldog, Gunner.

My philosophy

I want you to have fun during our time together, I want you to forget I am there and just enjoy the people you are with. Whether that is your fiancé, or your family - I am not here for a photoshoot - I am here to capture the intimate moments between you and the ones you love. I want your session to be different. I want to tailor it to your wants, needs, and likes. Do you love to go kayaking? Let's do it! Do you want to play the guitar in the redwoods for your partner? Let's do it! Do you want to go on night hike with lanterns? Let's do it!
