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 am so grateful that my passion for capturing life's precious moments (both the milestone events and the joy found in each day) has lead me to this wonderfully creative and fulfilling career as a Bay Area photographer.

During my photography journey, I've worked with subjects from newborns to high school seniors, families to corporate head shots and lately I've dabbled in product photography.  And you know what? I love it all.

When working with individuals and families, my goal is to capture a mix of traditional poses and those natural moments in between. The candid interactions that truly show your personality are the ones that make my heart swoon.

My photos tell stories...I'd greatly appreciate the opportunity to capture yours.

P.S.  These photos are from our trip to Hawaii where we celebrated our 20 year anniversary.  :)
