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.

Whether it’s a quiet cup of coffee in the morning, a walk outside, or just a few deep breaths between tasks, those little zen moments make all the difference.
