A little over 20 years ago, I packed my bags and bought a one-way ticket from Illinois to San Francisco. I think my parents thought I'd always come back, but as luck would have it I met and married a fabulous guy. Who knew that within a few short years we'd have four kids and trade the fog of the city for the sunshine of the Silicon Valley suburbs?
I've always loved photography and that combined with my background in marketing lead me to creating my own photography and social media marketing business.
There is nothing I enjoy more than photographing fellow business owners and showing them how to use their images to grow their business.
Most of all, I believe we all have a story to tell and I'd be honored to capture yours.

There’s nothing quite like the magic of seeing hot air balloons floating across your backyard! It is one of the unexpected perks of living in wine country. I just love these early morning surprises.
Last year I actually went up in one as a birthday gift from my husband. I was super nervous at first but it was truly an awesome experience. The experience was amazing....so peaceful and beautiful.
I`m curious, is riding in a hot air balloon on your bucket list?

The South Bay just keeps pulling me back — and honestly, I’m not mad about it. I love any excuse to come down for headshot sessions, especially when it means catching up with my friend (and client!) Jamie from Design Compass - Interiors Consulting . Always such a fun day behind the camera and even better company! 💛📸 #brandingphotography #southbayphotographer #headshots #womeninbusiness
I can’t believe a week has already gone by since I attended the @womensnetworkingalliance Fall Business Summit. It was a wonderful day learning from and connecting with women business owners and friends. I enjoyed being one of event sponsors by providing my photography services. It’s always so much fun to capture the spirit of the day.
If you’re looking for a networking group filled with women who want to help your business succeed, I encourage you to check them out. They offer in person, hybrid and online chapters. Or feel free to send me a DM and I’d be happy to share my experience with you.
Shoutout to the amazing speakers @vantageshift_1 @kimwallacecoaching @abbyyoungstyling @gymparty_ . And a huge thanks to Carla and Tracey of @womensnetworkingalliance for bringing us all together! 🤗
