I am a mother. I am passionate. I am the ever-eager learner. I am a wife. I am loyal. I am driven. I am a photographer... and not in that particular order. I included photographer in the "I am" list because photography is more of who I am rather than what I do. My connection to clients runs deeper than snapping shots of momentous occasions, but rather capturing the occasions that are momentous. In the midst of a "momentous Occasion" we may sometimes miss the occasions that are momentous... my passion is to find those moments and document them frozen in time.
I love the details that are often overlooked, the space between the empty, and the words that are not said. Yes, I am the photographer who will end up crying as you recite your vows and laughing as you joyously depart for your honeymoon. I've always felt the need to connect with my clients on a personal level to capture photos that relive the emotion of that singular moment, with the personalities that are spontaneously original and completely unplanned. My gift is capturing the moments that will eventually be momentous... because photographer is part of who I am and not what I do.
My very favorite subjects to photograph are my kids, Brayden and Kennedy. I love living in Southern California and wearing flip flops all year. I am a recovering soda addict and recent coffee lover. It took me 34 years to try coffee for the first time. My husband and I are high school sweethearts and we have been together more than half of our lives. I bleed blue and gold and am obsessed with college football (Go Bruins!). I believe dessert should always be eaten first. I am a poultiarian (I only eat turkey and chicken). I couldn't live anywhere without an ocean, Trader Joe's, In N Out and good Mexican food (although I could do without the earthquakes and traffic). I love road trips and always prefer to take the back roads. We have been to 46 states and our goal is to hit all 50 before my son graduates high school. I love rainbows but hate the rain. I am Britney Spears' biggest fan and I've met her twice. If I could have any talent I wish I could sing so I could be in musicals. I am a RENThead. I love being a theater mom / dance mom / swim mom / PTA mom.
