I’m a proud Midwestern transplant who’s called California home for over 40 years. I still get all the warm fuzzies when I visit my roots—there’s nothing like a big ol’ hug from family and friends back home. My heart is completely stolen by my husband, daughter, son, daughter-in-love, and, of course, my grandson who is basically the world’s cutest little joybomb. And let’s not forget about the real boss of the house: our rescued furball. Tiny in size but big on attitude, this little floof rules the roost with an iron paw and an absurdly high level of cuteness. Seriously, it's almost unfair.

I kick off my day with a fragrant cup of coffee (or maybe two… let’s be real) and wind down with a chilled margarita on the rocks. I'm a big believer in the power of music to keep you young, and nothing beats connecting with friends, sharing big belly laughs, and giving hugs that last just a little too long. Throw in some travel, adventures, animals, and photography—and you've pretty much got my ideal life.

Speaking of photography, I’m based in sunny Orange County, CA, where my journey began in the most natural way possible: snapping pictures of my daughter dancing and goofing off with her friends. Before I knew it, my hobby turned into a full-on obsession (in the best possible way) and eventually grew into my business. Now, I’m all about using my camera to help businesses shine, seniors celebrate, families create memories, and women see their own incredible value.

But really, it’s the connections with my family and friends that make life so sweet. I treasure every laugh, every hug, and every snuggle with my little furball. Because in the end, it’s those moments that truly make life beautiful.

About me

Located in the Yorba Linda area of Orange County, CA with my husband, daughter and an adorable fur baby rescue who has stolen our hearts and rules our home. 

I love enjoying a good cup of coffee to start the day and a margarita on the rocks after a long day.  

My family and friends hold my heart and connecting with them is a treasure I don’t take for granted. I love music, infectious laughter, bear hugs, animals and snuggling with said fur baby! 

Travel gives me joy and I’m available for on location sessions.
