Welcome!

"A great photo is treasure you'll forever cherish"

 

My photography journey started years ago, when I was "the one" that always had a camera with her.... no we didn't have a camera on our phones back then.  I found that photography was a creative outlet for me and I had always dreamed to own my own photography business.  After attending college, completing the photography program, I was fortunate to be mentored by a  well known local Wedding Photographer.  I learned all aspects of the photography business, shooting as a second photographer under my mentors name. My love for photography along with my skills grew tremendously during this time and when my mentor retired I opened my own successful photography business specializing in

Weddings, Family Portraiture, Senior Photos and Special Event Photography.  I had the pleasure of  providing my

clients with photos from some of the most important moments in their lives and I loved my job.

  

It was with a heavy heart in 2010 that I made the difficult decision to put the camera down professionally for a bit.  My daughter was a young rodeo athlete, I was a single mom at this point and it was necessary for me to be available on the weekends to travel and evenings to attend practices & haul horses around to support HER dreams and goals.  I missed shooting weddings and portrait work, but still always seemed to have a camera in my hand.  I would jump at the chance when

someone would approach me to shoot their son or daughters' senior photos or a family session.  I always said

I would fall back on my roots one day and reopen my business, and that is exactly what I did!

 

​Early this year I purchase all new equipment, throughly educated myself with the latest digital technology, and

I am thrilled to be back behind the camera creating memories for you, here in beautiful Sonoma County.

would love the opportunity to spend some time with you discussing your photography needs

and provide you with portraits that you will forever cherish.
