Ever since I was little, I always loved taking pictures. When I would hang out with my dad, he would have a new disposable camera waiting for me to create something special. Once I finished the roll, we would go to Target and get them developed, and then look at the photos of our memories. When he passed away in 2009, I was left with the moments I captured in that little box of plastic. Even though we would never be able to hang out again, I was able to remember his raspy laugh and the plunk of fishing bob as it hit the lake, or the long scenic drives up to my uncle's house in Graeagle, and going kayaking with my old dog Scruffy. That's what ultimately made me fall in love with photography – I was given the ability to freeze those moments and hang onto them for the rest of my life. That gift is something I want to give to all of the clients who pick me to capture their most precious moments. I thought I wanted to be a lawyer, but after mentoring with one, I decided that working my days in an office wasn't meant for me. I wanted to wake up every single day and be so excited about what every day had in store for me. In 2013, I started college at the Art Institute of San Francisco, where I graduated 3 years later with my B.S in Digital Photography. From there, I started my own business which leads me where I am today, with ten wedding seasons under my belt!
