My father handed me a camera when I was 7 years old and told me to shoot, everything, everywhere. I have had a camera in my hands ever since. After studying photography in college, I moved to Los Angeles to become a filmmaker. After graduating from the LA Film School as a director and producer I had a stint as a stuntwoman, worked on many films and music videos, and styled a Victoria Secrets commercial directed Michael Bay. After 8 years living in Los Angeles, I discovered I was pregnant and decided to choose family over Hollywood. I wanted my kids to have the childhood experience I had – trees, dirt, animals and nature. So we moved back north to Sonoma County.

Once back in Sonoma County, I had the great fortune of apprenticing with an award winning wedding photographer. After several years of the work, I was hooked! It’s an honor being with people on one of the most important days of their lives. To tell the story of it. To capture the beauty, the excitement, the drama of it all.

Weddings require a few extra skills. You must be able and willing to adapt to any situation and work with anyone. I bring a no stress, creative spirit to any job I do. My travels and career in the film industry had prepared me for this job perfectly!
