when i need to hit the reset button i get outside. going to the mountains or the ocean is a guaranteed stress relief. mountain biking is a favorite of mine too.

you can find me in leggings and a tee with my hair in a messy bun most days. I don't love dressing up which is why i created my client closet, cause I know i'm not the only one who dreads shopping!

My main jam is country music.
I grew up on 90's country & rock. music and live concerts are one of my favorite things in life! I always bring my speaker to sessions if your family loves music too!

About ME

let's make it official

I can't wait to meet your family!

hello my friend

It means so much to me that you are here and are considering me to photograph your family!

I am based in Placer County in Northern California and specialize in candid, emotive maternity, lifestyle newborn and family photography.

I am a wife and mother to one very spirited and sweet daughter. When I became a mother myself I finally understood how true the saying is "the days are long but the years are short". This fleeting chapter of life deserves to be celebrated. I am here to ensure these precious moments are documented forever. Parenthood is messy, raw, exhausting but it is also the most wonderful and rewarding part of life. 

I am drawn to images that evoke emotion and show personality. I do not strive for perfection but rather a pure, heartfelt visual story of your unique and beautiful family.

Imagine being able to sit down with your babies in 30+ years from now and show them not only what their family looked like, but also how they interacted together. The connections between their siblings and parents and the deep bond within their family. When we are no longer here, our children will thank us for giving the gift of irreplaceable memories with their parents. 

Your session is waiting!


Your family is the inspiration for my art.
