nature taught us - there's magic in imperfection.
thoughts from this mama & central Coast photographer
You know better than anyone that in the moments, the snuggles and the in-between, there is joy — the kind you never want to forget. Let’s create more moments like these. As a Central Coast photographer, I specialize in family photos, senior portraits and wedding photography, documenting individuals as they are.

the lay of the land for this central coast photographer
I thrive off of being a free thinker, using my experience and a timeless editing style to craft images for you that are always on trend and never out of style.
Moms are rarely in family photos because they are the ones taking the photos. Motherhood, somehow or other, goes unnoticed. Knowing this, I go beyond the typical image variety to capture the love, beauty and emotions that moms often witness when no one is watching and the camera is tucked away.
I'm easy to be with so you can be yourself and love the images that I capture for you. You’ll always feel seen, known and appreciated when we’re together. I want your photos to be the best version of real life.
I'm a single mom raising 4 kids and photographing my way through motherhood. Making sure my kids have a great life full of experiences, joy, adventure and security is my number 1.
Before becoming a Central Coast photographer, I helped lead a small company that designed and manufactured photography gear. I picked up a camera out of necessity for the job and photography soon became a necessity for my life. It taught me that my title went beyond mother and a wife — that I was an individual and an artist too.

Just ask and I’ll bring along the champagne 🥂
I put the roots of this business down in Visalia. After 10 years, I took my family on its own adventure, relocating to the oceanside and small-town life of the Central Coast in 2020. The peace, perspective and relief astound me every day that I wake up in this beautiful destination. Mornings on the foggy beach and a quiet life with more than enough time outside makes me happy.
Friends, my heart is full. I get to do this as my livelihood! Imperfect and all, this life of ours is good.
