Welcome to my Blog!

I'm a simple person who loves photographing people and spending time with my husband and two little girls, Ellie (4) and Emmeline (1). My girls are my world and every day I wonder how I became so blessed to be their Mama.

When I'm not behind the camera I love to knit and sew cute things for my girls and bake cookies. My husband likes to say I'm a granny at heart, but I like to say I'm a woman of many talents. ;)

I also enjoy snowboarding, traveling and immersing myself in books. One day I will conquer Cornice and get down without snowplowing my way. I dream of traveling to Greece, Italy and Paris one day, but I have yet to convince the husband that traveling abroad with two little ones would be aweome. I'd also love to go camping and show my girls the joys of a perfectly toasted marshmallow and walking barefoot through an icy cold creek bed. And although I said it would never happen, I now read most of my books on my iPhone or iPad instead of a book. Have kids and you'll soon realize the gift of a built in light and always having your book with you.

I'm based in Orange County, California and ocassionally travel for shoots.

Serra Plaza Wedding: Debbie and Rob

Thursday, April 12, 2012 Posted in film, weddings

My daughter Ellie knows them as Buddy and Wob. These two are good friends of mine that I met through my husband Jeff (Debbie and my husband went to college together) and it was such an honor to photograph their wedding! I loved so much about their day and was so happy to be a part of it as both friend and photographer. Debbie and Rob now expecting their first baby and I’m so excited for the two of them to become parents.

I photographed the wedding up until the start of the reception which is when my awesome photography friends Jen Lauren Grant and Maiko took over so that I could join the reception festivities per Debbie and Rob’s request. With the help of Grand Soirees and Events, Debbie and Rob were able to pull off an incredibly gorgeous wedding at Serra Plaza!
