Hi! Thank you so much for stopping by! To tell you a little bit about myself, I am based in Sacramento area and photograph all over Northern California and beyond. I loooove to travel for photography! Weddings, engagements and expecting mommies are my favorites but I enjoy all portrait photography.

I recently got married to my husband in October of 2019. I know first hand how exciting but overwhelming it is to plan a wedding! So I now have an even deeper appreciation for my brides and grooms.

My passion for photography began in childhood when I was going through family photo albums time after time mesmerized by the art of photography. I started photographing using 35mm film cameras. After taking a digital photography class in high school, I knew that photography would continue to be a part of my life. I was thrilled to receive my first digital camera as a gift at the time. As I developed my interests, I realized I love capturing significant life events and helping people preserve precious memories of these moments. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing people smile when I am sharing my art of photography with them.

My love for photographing couples began when my photographer friend invited me to come along to shoot an engagement session. I vividly remember the excitement and thrill I had during and after the session. It is the same feeling I get when I photograph each one of my couples. It is the knowledge of capturing a moment in time that is so personal and significant that makes me so emotional every time. Don’t worry, I promise I won’t cry too much if I am photographing your wedding but I will likely shed a few tears. :)

I am a photographer who is passionate about creating images that have authenticity and portray emotion. My style is a blend of fine art and photo-journalism. I love beautifully styled imagery but I also treasure natural candid moments. My imagery is light, colorful and timeless.

Feel free to check out more of my work on my Instagram page. I would love it if you stop by there and say hi. If you have any questions at all related to photography or wedding prep, feel free to email me or message me on Instagram. I’ll be happy to chat online or in person over some coffee!
