who

I'm a storyteller. I love recalling a story to others, showing it with my body language or through what I see with my eyes. I read energy and trust my gut. I am one of those people who believe that there is richness in human diversity. I live for sunsets and good food. I love LOVE and it excites me to document it. A cheerful, cordial, and charming person is how many people know me. I treat Mother Nature and her divine creatures like family. I'm tech savvy, love to design and like to do things myself. I am a dedicated lifelong learner and vow to pass on all that I know to my kiddos so they can do the unimaginable in this lifetime and be the melioristic generation.

what

I was obsessed with looking at family photo albums as a child. I once found an expensive camera at school. I got a $5 reward for turning it in and vowed to one day buy a camera as fancy as that one. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Mass Communications with a focus in journalism and wrote stories for our local newspaper. They sent me to cover a story with a camera and had no idea what I was doing. The next morning my photo was on the front page of the paper and I quickly shifted my studies to photography. A picture is definitely worth a thousand words.

where

I started my career in a dark room and starting shooting before digital photography or MySpace even existed. My internship with a wedding & portrait photographer quickly shifted into a full-time position in the fast-paced San Francisco Bay Area. I cried behind the lens at my first wedding because their love was so damn beautiful. It's what people dream about.  I was spellbound and wanted to Capture everything. My favorites are sweet elopements and I have shot tons of destination weddings. I currently hop back and forth from the Bay Area, but we are building our dream home in Montana! If you want to work together reach out as I now only do this part-time and for FUN! Whether it’s out of a fantasy film, a fairy tale, or your own imagination. Together, we’ll cast the perfect spell....preferably in Bora Bora. Just saying.
