Hey there! I'm so glad you're here.


At twelve years old I was gifted my first camera and I knew it would be a lifelong love story.  I soon discovered  I was awful at taking photos. The light was never quite right, my horizon lines were crooked, and my editing style - atrocious. I chased PERFECTION. I moved away from Santa Cruz at a young age and I travelled the world with my camera - photographing the beaches of Hawaii, food in Italy,  and the culture in Indonesia. 


Years later I realized how rewarding capturing  stories of laughter, joy, raw human connection, and all its imperfections could be. After all, imperfections are what make you, well…YOU. I’m here to tell your story and capture the moments as they unfold, naturally and beautifully. Life is about the big moments, but also the moments in-between. I want you to be able to look back on life as it is, no frills, just honest living. Capturing life’s truest form of connection is something I’ll never tire of. Whether I’m with you on your wedding day, in your home with your family, or walking on the beach with you and your partner; you will have precious memories made.  I’m here to capture  all the in-between moments and the tiniest details for you to look back on for years to come.
