about the artist

I've always loved telling stories, but never enjoyed writing. When I
found photography, it was the perfect medium for me to express myself. With each shoot, I unveil the unique stories of
my subjects, and tell them with beautiful imagery. People often tell me
that they feel like they know my clients just from reading my blog.

They say photographs are the only tangible memories after a wedding,
which means that my perspective is how you will remember your big day. With that in mind, I have to capture the details (big and
small) in the most beautiful light. I want you to laugh and cry (tears
of joy, of course) when you look at your photos. Whether it's your wedding day or your babies growing up, time goes
by so fast, so it's
my job to document your story... beautifully.

I am based in Los Angeles, but love to travel.

Destination weddings are most certainly welcomed!

In order to give each client my full creative energy, I only take a limited number of weddings a year. (aka I book up fast and don't offer discounts.)

Are you ready to have your heart melt?? My heart totally melted when I first met baby Audrey! Mom & Dad contacted me about shooting her first birthday portraits. As we brainstormed, one story inspired me. While mommy was pregnant with Audrey, she had major cravings for watermelons! She ate so much of it that people actually started nicknaming her watermelon! A watermelon patch was our original idea, but where do you find a watermelon patch in LA?? So we improvised and I LOVE the results!!! I love her eyes & expression in that first image! And that she’s eating the rind!

Having her naked wasn’t the plan, but as mom was changing Audrey, I just loved the contrast! Plus I just love naked babies. You can only get away with it up to a certain age, so why not take advantage while you can!

These will be displayed at her first birthday party, but can you imagine these in her wedding slideshow??? I can just hear the guests awing and laughing already! I LOVE her expression and how she eats with her toes curled and foot in the air:

And how can you have a little girl and not put her in a tutu?!

This cracks me up!!! “Here I come!”
