My heart behind the lens

I am a wife, a mother of two, a photographer, and a doula in Fresno, CA. 

Not too many years ago, I was a new mother who deeply felt the saying, “The days are long, but the years are short.” I didn’t document the first few years of my children’s lives with anything other than a grainy camera phone; and I so deeply wish I had. Every season of life should be properly documented. I am so passionate about capturing childhood and family interactions. I value the beautiful simplicity of documenting you all just as you are. The perfectly imperfect. 

When I first started photography is was because I was witnessing beautiful, once in a lifetime moments unfolding before me as a birth doula. I loved the intimacy and raw wonder of it all. I couldn't stand the thought of families not having those tangible memories of them working to meet their baby! It is such an honor for me to capture families year after year.  Truly, my greatest joy is for the in-between moments when you forget the camera is there and I can show you a glimpse of how beautiful your family is. I bring a documentarian heart into every session and also leave space for the posed moments as well. I believe every family is worth celebrating and documenting.  Let's celebrate yours!

A few of my favorite things

Huge fan of water. Drinking it. Waterskiing on it. Laying beside it. 

Comfy clothes are my jam. Leggings for life!

I love quoting movie lines in normal conversations. The invention of GIF’s has been a game changer for me.
