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 […]

I was thrilled when Chelsie inquired about wedding photography last year. I had photographed Chelsie’s brother’s wedding the previous year and just fell in love with their family.

I was honored to photograph it […]

Last month, I spent the weekend in Livermore photographing a gorgeous wedding at Crook Vine Winery! It felt like a million degrees outside but nothing could stop the love and joy between Kyle & Aubree! There is something to say about enjoying every moment of your wedding and not getting caught up in the craziness […]

There are moments in life when words fail me, and now is one such moment. Saturday, I spent the day celebrating a wedding extraordinarily close to my heart. My younger sister, Claire, married her high school sweetheart, Garrett. Together, in our backyard, they ushered in a new beginning and I couldn’t have been more proud. […]

It was my first time shooting at the beautiful new French Oak Ranch. It was a gorgeous 90 degree summer day for Tony & Kristina’s wedding! They were so thrilled to marry each other and nothing could bother them the whole day! Exactly how a wedding should be! Tony & Kristina were all smiles and laughter […]

Love is not about how many days, months, or years you’ve been together. Love is how much you love each other each every single day. This past weekend we went to on our annual family Tahoe vacation. But this year was extra special, it was my Grandparent’s 60th wedding anniversary. They renewed their vows while […]
