Hello Everyone!

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to touch base and share some exciting news. As many of you know, I’ve been navigating a challenging time, caring for my ill father while balancing my roles as a wife and mom. I’m excited to refocus on something close to my heart when time allows.

Starting this past May, I’ve stepped away from wedding photography to concentrate on capturing families and seniors. I’ve truly missed being behind the camera, and I’m thrilled to announce that I’m opening up a limited number of fall dates for sessions!

What’s Available: 🍂 Fall Family Sessions: Create cherished memories against the backdrop of autumn’s beauty. 🎓 Senior Portraits: Perfect for capturing your senior’s milestone moments.

I'm preparing for one of my busiest weeks in a long while. It's not just my personal life that's packed; I have a Senior photo session nearly every weekday evening, and then there's prom on Saturday. Here's a quick note for everyone: if you haven't scheduled a session with me yet, I still have some openings on weekday evenings this month.

Attention 2025 Seniors: I'm currently booking sessions through September!

It's hard to believe this beauty is already on her way to college! It seems like only yesterday I was capturing her Quinceañera. Time truly has a way of slipping by swiftly.

Elegance and Beauty never fades.

This delightful young lady is celebrating her birthday soon, and I had the perfect dress for her session! It's been a privilege to witness her growth throughout the years.

Class of 2024

As you may know it is Senior Portrait season, and it's the most beautiful time of year to do them. Let's show this beautiful girl some love. Her session was so much fun. I love when the sun blesses my sessions!

If you are still looking to get on my schedule, I do have a few weekdays left before the summer, but all of my weekends are officially booked.

I have so many sessions to share in time! Just today I sent off 4 galleries, mailed prints and Usb's to several clients. If you are waiting on your galleries, please be on the lookout. They are all coming.

04/16/2024

It has been a delight to witness this sweet girl's journey as she stands on the threshold of high school, growing remarkably through the years. I have been lucky enough to capture many precious memories of her family over the years!

I currently have an opening this weekend due to a change in plans. it is my last weekend available until the summer. If you are interested in booking it, please message me.

Remembering our camping trip from last July brings back such fond memories! We absolutely adore ocean-side camping, although our preferred location is usually reserved far in advance. Regrettably, we couldn't secure a spot for this Spring break, but we're eagerly anticipating our summer camping adventures. I'd love to hear about your favorite camping sites in California.

To be specific, we're talking about Fort Bragg's Mackerricher State Park. Timber Cove in Jenner is another spot we enjoy.

I love chasing sunsets!

How breathtakingly beautiful is this mother-to-be? She really was the star of the show. I have so many gorgeous Images to share, but we will start with these.

03/21/2024

I adore this spot; it's where we took our family photos, though it's been a few years since my last visit. I'm planning to return in the first week of May. If you're interested in capturing some enchanting portraits together, let's arrange a session!
