Photography is my air.

I saw a quote somewhere once about how if all you can think about is the thing you want to do, from the moment you wake to the moment you go to sleep, then that’s how you know you were meant for it.

I’ve been behind the camera longer than I can remember. Maybe that’s why it took me so long to find my way back home to it. It always just seemed like a personal passion. And I now I can’t imagine my life doing anything else.

A Few of Favorite Things

  • Flowers

  • Food

  • Family

  • Fun

Get to know me a little better…..

  • Lateness, I once had a boss in college tell me “If you’re early, you’re on time. If you’re on time, you’re late. If you’re late, you’re fired.” I live by these words! You can always expect me to be early wherever I go!

  • Both! I have a kitty named Kali who is just the snuggliest. If I sit down, she is on me immediately for cuddles. Lily is my Yorkshire Terrier mix that we rescued during the pandemic. She is obsessed with fetch and the pickiest eater! And we recently were hit by the cat distribution system and blessed with Gizmo!

  • I noticed recently some of my favorite things all start with the letter F…Family, Friends, Food, Flowers, Fun….

  • I graduated from St. Mary’s College of California with a Bachelor of Arts in 2010. It was a huge accomplishment for me and it was a moment that I will always remember because my oldest was there to watch it. She often would sit with me as I did my homework, encouraging me to work hard. She was truly the inspiration for me to go to school and graduate!

  • Yes, please! I love traveling. It’s not something I get to do as often but I spent most summers traveling by plane ALONE to see my relatives on the East Coast. At 15, I was blessed to take a six-week tour of Israel. And I was beyond blessed to win a trip to Australia from a local radio station! I’m always up for an adventure!

  • I’m a girl who grew up on the Traveling Wilbury’s, The Beatles, and the Rolling Stones with a healthy dosing of musicals thrown in. I’ve known every lyric to My Fair Lady for as long as I can remember. In my teen years I fell in love with Hanson and have been so lucky to not only meet them but INTERVIEW them while I was in college. I also worked for a heavy metal radio station 90.5 The Edge as a DJ for a few years and also developed a love of metal too!

Your life is already beaufiful

I wish life was perfect. And it isn’t. Maybe that’s why I am drawn to images that show the beauty of life as it is. When you look back at your images, I want you to remember the people you loved as they were. Full of their life and spirit…which doesn’t come from soft smiles and perfect poses.
