Irma and Vince, From our first meeting, you were wonderful. I enjoyed your energy and most of all the chemistry you have between the two of you. Covid derailed your wedding plans multiple times, and gave us the opportunity for TWO beautiful engagement sessions, but your special day finally came—and it was wonderful! Your wedding […]

Erik and Sauli and wonderful people and I am honored to call them friends. After chaos ensued in Venezuela, they opted to move to northern California where they had family ties. They left their jobs as ophthalmologists and began a successful catering service called Pilon Kitchen, serving traditional (and mouthwatering) Venezuelan cuisine. A week prior […]

I photographed Melissa and Cole during the spring when she was pregnant with Zadie, their youngest. When she asked me about taking their family photos for their now larger family of five, I was delighted! Let me take a moment here to reminisce on the last time I tried to take photos for my own […]

Dreamy Aptos Fall Wedding When I first met Megan and Miguel, I loved them both immediately. I loved their love for each other, their humility, their trust and their contagious smiles. There is a chemistry that you can feel when two hearts that are meant for each other come together. All their joy spills out […]

Eric and Sauline are wonderful people. Several years ago they left their jobs and their entire lives in Venezuela.

I had a privilege of photographing a beautiful family this weekend. Dale and Joanna and their three kids–Elisabeth, Katherine and Samuel, were just the loveliest, and I am so honored that they trusted me to photograph them. I first met Joanna and Dale when they moved to our city and both of our children attended […]

I woke up this morning and couldn’t get Megan and Miguel off my mind. Our engagement photoshoot yesterday evening was so lovely! Ever since I met my husband and somehow just knew he was “the one” (a concept that complete eluded and baffled me up until that point), I’ve become more attuned to the right […]

I met Mason and Bianca one month before their lovely backyard reception last Saturday, October 20th, 2018. I was very honored to be able to second shoot their intimate wedding with the talented photographer Adam J Clark in the beginning of September. While Mason was waiting for his bride, he kept saying, “I know every […]

Ryan and Mandy have been married for seven years, and yet this was their first time they and their son, Conner, had taken family portraits! I worked with Mandy at Mark David Insurance, and we had been talking for nearly a year about doing a photoshoot. I was so excited we were finally able to […]
