I am the bride's dream for a wedding on a tight budget.  I am new to wedding photography so my prices are very affordable.

My favorite shots are the photos between the poses...those special moments when the bride and groom foget they're being photographed.  I will orchestrate a picture.  For example, asking the bride and groom to sit together, lean towards each other, look at each other, then a picture unfolds.  Maybe the groom says something goofy that makes the bride laugh right when the camera goes 'click.'  I love those pictures.

I love all forms of art and have considered many of them when I’ve contemplated a career;  whether it be drama, fashion, music or painting.  I never saw myself  ”climbing the corporate ladder.”   I first was inspired with photography when I had my daughter.  I was eager to capture her spirit in a photograph.  I started to branch out, trying to capture all things beautiful with a camera.

I was born in the east bay area and raised in the Washington/Seattle area.  I came back to California after meeting the love of my life.  I’ve been a resident of Santa Rosa since 2005 and the mother of two beautiful little girls.  At first I missed the beautiful rich greens of Washington, but quickly was inspired by the beauty of the Sonoma County Wine Country.

I never knew what I wanted to be when I grew up.  I still don’t feel like a “grown up” and most likely never will.  I’ve always thought that vulnerability is one of the most beautiful qualities.  The subtleties of a person’s expressions, the life in a child’s eyes, the beam of their smile can all be captured like lightning in a jar in the millisecond of a camera’s click.  I have never viewed taking photos as a job, this is my passion, my art.  I feel honored when a person trusts me to let me capture their spirit, even if just for a moment.
