About Me
I’m a proud Midwestern transplant who’s been calling California home for 40+ years, and yes, I still get the warm fuzzies every time I head back home. Nothing beats those deep-rooted memories, laughs and hugs from family and friends.
My heart belongs to my husband, daughter, son, daughter-in-love, and my grandson...aka a tiny human joybomb with world-class cuteness. Running the household, however, is our rescued furball: small, mighty, and fully convinced he’s in charge. He’s not wrong.
Most mornings start with an aromatic cup of coffee, let's be real, sometimes two. There is nothing like winding down with a margarita on the rocks at the end of the day. I believe music keeps you young, sharing laughter keeps you sane, and hugs that last a little too long are the icing on the cake. Add travel, adventure, animals, and photography, and you’ve basically described my happy place.
I’m based in sunny Orange County, CA, where my photography journey began organically camera in hand, capturing my daughter dancing, laughing, and goofing off with friends. One click led to another, and before I knew it, a passion became an obsession which became a business I absolutely love. Today, I use my camera to help businesses shine, seniors celebrate milestones, families freeze fleeting moments, and women truly see how incredible they already are.
At the end of the day, it's the connection that matters most, shared laughter, heartfelt hugs, and quiet moments with the ones I love (including the furry one). Because those are the moments that turn a good life into a beautiful one.
