get to know me

I'm your fairytale fanatic, your avid dream chaser, who lives vicariously through all your happiest moments. 

I'm a family and wedding photographer who left her heart in San Francisco and currently growing ever so fond of Sacramento. 

I'm passionate about what I do, but more importantly, passionate about you and your milestones. I'm here to help you celebrate LIFE. These days, it seems like life flies by us and we don't have enough hours in the day for anything. Photography allows me to slow down and focus on enjoying the present. It allows me to freeze the moment so that you'll have it forever. So when life is moving a little too fast for you, you can look back on these photos and remember to slow down, embrace the present, celebrate life a little more, and to enjoy the simple moments.

hello!

Looking back, I realized I was always fascinated with cameras and photography. If there was a camera laying around, I would grab it and play with it for hours if I could.

My love for this truly began when I moved to San Francisco. Being on my own for the first time, I wanted to document everything that the city had to offer. I realized quickly that empty landscapes weren't enough. I wanted to fill it with happy people and capture their emotions.

Aside from photography, I love food and exploring. Ice cream is the perfect pick-me-up on a bad day and tequila is great for what the ice cream can't fix. I tell people I'm outdoorsy but really I like to be a couch potato and binge watch 90 Day Fiancé with my boyfriend and our dogs.
