I grew up in Massachusetts where shoveling my mailbox out of the snow was a normal way to spend a Winter morning and driving an hour in one direction meant I could end up in another State.
Once I moved to California for school, I couldn’t leave. I fell in love with the year-round sunshine and having access to beaches and mountains every day.
I value the top-level education I received at UC Berkeley, but the most important things I learned there was to be the best ME I can be and that everyone is capable of making a difference in other's lives.
While working in Marketing for 10 years, I volunteered to help children, like the UCLA Medical Center and Big Sisters of Los Angeles; then left the corporate world to be a teacher in San Francisco before starting my photography business. I now volunteer at one of my children's schools as the Art Director, which combines my love for art, children, and helping the community.
I have been painting with all kinds of mediums since I was a young child. It’s the Fine Arts that have shaped the way I compose my photographic images and influence how I see colors, patterns and light.
I love children, animals, coffee, and laughing. I also love singing and dancing, but you'll never catch me doing these in public -- haha.
My life isn’t perfect, but it’s perfectly my life. And that’s what I capture during my lifestyle photoshoots. I don’t look for “perfect” moments; I capture the real ones… The ones that describe a relationship, show an emotion and tell a story. I'd love to tell yours.
