“Photography is the story I fail to put into words”


Have you ever met a first time mom who is not obsessed with their newborn? I haven't yet. I was one of those moms who was captivated and enamored with their tiny precious baby. My fascination for photography started when my baby girl was born. She became my everything, so I wanted to capture every little moment with her.

At the time, my husband was a marine stationed in twentynine Palms. He was always out in the field working late. I was pregnant and living in a military base with plenty of time. What could I do? I decided to learn a few software programs to add to my skills. I then realized I had a knack for photo retouching, so I purchased my first camera to enhance and improve the programs I was already learning. Little did I know at the time where it would lead me. My daughter arrived and I was beyond excited! I started capturing every smile, every gesture, every moment I did not want to forget. She became my muse, and soon I discovered I had a talent for photography. Over time, photography became more than just a hobby. It became a passion of mine!

It is always exciting meeting new people, getting to know their stories, and being able to capture memories that they will treasure forever. My mission is to be able to capture genuine smiles and authenticity, but I also love photographing serious expressions and perfectly posed portraits!

I look forward to meeting you and your beautiful family!
