I am a laid back, Jesus loving, beach exploring, coffee consuming, charcuterie connoisseur, big dreaming mama of two. I live on the central coast (Pismo Beach CA) with my husband, 2 kids & 2 dogs and I whole heartedly adore this place because the people here are genuinely content with a casual easy going "SLO" life. Yes. the west coast is the best coast.
Photography has always been a piece of who I am, but after I lost my father to cancer I realized that time is so short and precious and that memories are better saved and relived through photography. The photos I take reflect what I find to be irreplaceable; moments with your family, and you with the people that you love. The overwhelming emotions that come with newborn babies, and watching your children grow are meant to be saved as well as passed down to your children.
I know you're here for the photographs, but my intention is for your experience and time together to be genuinely fun and easy going. Let me take the stress away of getting beautiful family images.

I have a passion for creating, making & learning.
My earliest recollection of this is kindergarten or so, creating a scrapbook of all the collectible plates you can order from a better homes magazine.
Let's call it early stage editorial work and be grateful my style and taste have grown since then.
In my senior year of high school I decided what I really wanted to be when I "grew up".
I went through college and pursued a career as a sonographer or better known as an ultrasound tech or, in my mind, an internal medical professional photographer.

As a mother of toddlers, my lifestyle family sessions are stress free and are more about having fun.
With a little direction from me, most of the session is about your family enjoying each other and the result is a gallery full of edited full-resolution digital images with printing rights to allow this moment to last forever.

A fresh 48 session is taken in the hospital within the first 48 hours of your baby's life.
There is minimal posing, just lifestyle images of an unforgettable moment in your lives.

When booking, I will need your estimated due date and require contact after the arrival of your new little one.

Fine art school portraits are a modern take on the traditional school photo.
Rather than props or brightly colored backdrops, portraits are simple, classic and timeless.
Children are photographed against a black backdrop with portraits available in color as well as black and white.
I provide a comfortable, fun experience during the session that encourages children to feel at ease and let their personality shine.
I offer all online ordering and downloading for the convenience to preschool staff and to families.

Do you know a cancer survivor?
Or maybe someone in the thick of their fight against cancer?
I'd love to offer a complimentary mini session for families to celebrate their survivor and strength as a family.
I lost my own father to cancer, and the photos I have with him and my family are something I cling to when I am missing him most.
Our families and family members deserve to be celebrated and documented for our own joy and for the generations to come.
Our gifts and talents were given to us to share and to bless others.
