Time moves swiftly, slipping through our fingers even as we attempt to pause. This moment in your life is unlike any other, shaped by emotions, people, and details that will never align in exactly the same way again. One day, you'll want to look back and remember your children, your partner, these special moments - not just how it all looked, but how it truly felt.
Let me help.
When the world shut down in 2020, I found my way back to my true love - documentary photography. Following my toddler with a camera made me realize that I don't need to be in Cuba or Africa to do photography that I love. What's true and beautiful resides in our homes.
I took a darkroom photography class in high school, which inspired a major in photojournalism, and I have since created images all over the world. I have worked professionally in architecture, portrait, and lifestyle genres, learning the craft and honing my skills along the way.
I love a challenge, a different place, and beautiful new faces. Whether we’re on a mountain or at a theme park or in your home, I’m physically and mentally prepared for whatever adventure comes my way.
Being a parent is not for the weary, and I’ve seen it all. No tantrum, breakdown or mess can shake me.
I know that it can be hard to have your photograph taken, so I make sure everyone is ready before I start. It’s important to me that you and your family are as comfortable as possible so that your true selves shine.
With a depth of experience spanning nearly two decades, I’ve photographed a wide range of subjects across diverse spaces and environments. Traveling the world with my camera has taught me to be resilient, adaptable, and ready for anything.
You are unique, so a one-size-fits-all approach may not work for you. We’ll talk it out until you are comfortable with a shoot that works for you.
While I generally like to keep things light and fun, empathy and understanding are paramount in my love language. I genuinely care about people, their stories, and who they are.
“The lighting in the restaurant was awful so I didn't have high hopes but the photos came out great and she managed to capture so many candid moments -- just as I asked for. I'm thankful that we had her there to preserve these memories for us.”

This special session is one of a kind. I spend all day with you and your family in and around your home, documenting this time in your lives as you live it.
I have used Bay Photo Lab, which has been in business since 1976, for the majority of my printing since I started in photography. With several papers and finishes to choose from, you can frame a beautiful print for your wall or get smaller prints to share.
Each album is curated with your hand-selected images. I personally design each album with the care and time these special photographs deserve, so that the final product is a piece of art filled with your memories that’s worthy of any coffee table.
Photographs shouldn’t just live on our phones and hard drives. When you print the images of you and your loved ones, they can be seen and appreciated every day. My printing labs have been vetted for quality and are the best in the business.
REACH OUT! We'll start with a conversation about what's important to you and your family when it comes to your photos. Then, I'll send you a custom proposal with precisely what you need.
GET READY! I'll send a prep guide to answer your questions and help you prepare for the shoot. I will also send a questionnaire to help me understand your family routines and quirks--so every single one of you feels comfortable in front of my camera.
BE YOURSELF! Spend time together. Do things you love. Don’t stress about a tantrum or that messy room, it’s all part of your life! I'll be the friend who is there to capture the best moments as they unfold, from the love to the tears to the chaos.
TREASURE THE MEMORIES! Look through your album and prints: See the love, connection and dedication among family members, and precious moments that you normally miss, and know that you are doing a great job.
