My journey          
I was gifted my first camera for elementary graduation, a moment that sparked lifelong passion. During high school, I dedicated myself to learning the craft. From yearbook to editing software and camera equipment setups, those early years helped shape the foundation of who I could be. 
In the evenings, I volunteered at local churches and small town events, contributing to media teams and bts production, refining my skills and giving back to the community that raised me.
After earning my diploma, I began my professional journey working for Shutterfly and Lifetouch. These roles took me all across the central valley, from Santa Cruz to San Diego, and even to small farm towns in between. I am incredibly lucky to have traveled to so many new places. I've put countless miles on my Subaru while exploring my home city and Bay Area. Eventually, this extensive travel began to take its toll, and I was thrilled to accept a local contract with hospitals here in my hometown, photographing newborns! Who could say no to cuddling adorable babies all day? This experience has deepened my love for photography and inspired me to broaden my focus.
          Where I'm At Now
Today, I am working to expand my photography beyond just newborn sessions. My goal is to document life's beautiful journey: from birth to birthdays, formals/proms to graduation, and proposals to maternity shoots.  Since February, I've been doing photobooth pop-ups at local markets around town.

I want to be there for all the moments worth celebrating, capturing memories for families that will love and look back on them forever.
Why I love photography          
Photography has taught me to value the fleeting beauty of life’s smallest moments. Whether it’s the laughter between loved ones or the quiet serenity of hands holding hands, I aim to capture those memories as they are... raw, authentic, and (mostly) unfiltered.​​​​​​​
Through my gallery, I aim to share a piece of that beauty with you. As you explore these photographs, I hope you find a bit of peace and maybe even a photo or two that resonate with you.

My boy Kotallo, he's three now, and has joined me on the wild adventure that is my twenty's. Really the most friendly and sweet boy there is.

My favorite, feel-good, homemade food. Grilled ham and cheese, coated in way too much garlic salt and a copious amount of butter.
