It was the hottest weekend of the whole year. San Rafael hit an unbelievable record of 114 degrees on their wedding day. Photographing a wedding in that kind of heat is no joke. But getting married in that kind of heat…man, they are troopers! But trust me, looking at Maricela & Naun, you’d never know […]

Sometimes a couple of your favorite people come together with perfect light on a summer night and create magic in front of your camera. This actually happened on Carly & Aaron’s maternity session as we ventured around Santa Clarita. Both of them were radiating with joy as they look forward to welcoming their little one […]

It was a scorching hot day in Healdsburg when I took Jeremy & Tara’s engagement photos, but it never phased them. They were as fabulous as ever and ROCKED their engagment session. As we ventured around Tara’s family’s property, I couldn’t help but get goosebumps (yes, even though it was 103 degrees outside) every time […]

It’s the time of year where wedding season is coming to an end and seniors are getting their senior portraits done. I was thrilled when Schylar asked me to take her photos, she’s stunning and has been a fantastic model for my sister’s shoots in her salon. We explored the Bodega Bay Coast for a […]

Dear Lord, thank you for gathering our family together, but please allow us to like each other for an hour or so. Family pictures haven’t ever really been my thing and I really don’t wanna make anyone cry this year, so if you could help me out, that’d be great. Each year, by some miracle, […]

Both whimsical & country vibes overwhelmed their session as they smiled at each other throughout the shoot. It was a hot summer day at Riverfront Park in Windsor. The perfect location for Andrew & Stephanie’s engagment photos. Their love was shining brighter than the summer sun  and it was an honor to photograph it. Andrew […]

I started my photography business unintentionally. It was a fun hobby and I loved capturing other people. Before I knew it, I was asked to photograph a friend’s wedding. Um what?! I was so nervous and afraid of failure. But I said yes and several months later, successfully photographed my first wedding. Looking back, I […]

Today I decided to step away from work for a bit and enjoy the sunshine and spend time in the garden. Why? Because business is more than the hustle. Moments like this is reason I’m able to do what I love. It’s a good reminder that life is illuminated far better in sunlight than the […]

Let’s talk about #makewavesmonday for a second here. Because the truth is, today I feel like I’m barely making ripples, let alone making waves. That I’m treading water rather than riding that barrel to the beach. Heck most days I look around at everyone else smashing life and I’m almost tempted to throw in the […]
