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.

Lately, I’ve been spending a lot of time gardening and spring is the perfect season in Sonoma County to get your veggies and flowers planted and thriving. It’s been such a fun way to spend time in between photo shoots (including a senior session and photos for a local winery). When I’m not taking photos, I love being outside and learning more about gardening. What hobbies have you been loving lately?

One year ago today, we made the move to wine country… and it has been an amazing year. 🍇
We are in love with this lifestyle — from spotting wildlife right outside our door, to watching the vineyards change each seasons. And of course learning more about wine! 🍷
One of the best parts has been finding such a warm and welcoming new community and having family and friends come visit us. We’ve become quite the tour guides and we love it!
It’s hard to believe that a year has gone by since we left Silicon Valley, but we are so grateful for this adventure and all the memories made so far. 🍷❤️
Happy Earth Day! Hope you get a chance to enjoy a little time outside today! 🌷🌿
I had so much fun at my branding session with Kerry of Lindell Chiropractic in Mountain View. We created a fresh set of images for her website that really reflect who she is and the care she gives her patients.
Kerry is truly amazing at what she does—she offers a variety of modalities to support healing and wellness, and you can feel how much she genuinely cares about her patients.
If you’re in the Mountain View area and looking for a chiropractor, she’s definitely someone to know!
