So you know what I do & why, but who am i Really?
Imagine a thirty something year old girl, obsessed with her husband & dog, loves blasting her emo tunes & exploring, The Office & Disneyland obsessed and may or may not have a collection of Mickey ears...
I am that girl. That girl is me.
My Story
I never thought I’d be a wedding photographer. My dream was to be a staff photographer for Rolling Stone and photograph the bands I love. My mom was the unofficial family photographer with a makeshift studio in our garage, I even have the embarrassing naked baby photo on a bear rug to prove it (thanks, mom). Pretty soon, I had my own hand-me-down cameras and they were with me on many family vacations through 38 states and 4 countries. Visiting those awe inspiring National Parks is what truly made me fall in love with photography. Something about just stopping a single moment in time and honoring that moment in an artful capacity brought me so much joy. Photographing landscapes is still one of my favorite things and living in the Pacific Northwest, which is the absolutely most photographic place, really fulfills that passion for me.
Let's Get in Touch
I'm originally from So Cal. I traded in the palm trees for the evergreens and the mountains and the epic views that are the Pacific Northwest and I couldn't be happier.
MY FIANCE CALEB IS MY FAVORITE PERSON ON THE PLANET. I FEEL BEYOND GRATEFUL AND BLESSED TO HAVE him IN MY LIFE. ASIDE FROM BEING MY BIGGEST SUPPORT SYSTEM, HE’S ALSO MY BEST FRIEND. HIS LOVE GIVES ME LIFE AND OUR DATeS TOGETHER ARE THE BEST, LAUGHING AND CUDDLING AND KEEPING EACH OTHER ACCOUNTABLE TO BE THE BEST VERSION OF OURSELVES that we can be.
I TOTALLY LOVE ALL THINGS DISNEYLAND & DISNEY. GROWING UP JUST MINUTES AWAY FROM DISNEYLAND, I PLAYED IN THE PARK MOST OF MY LIFE. THE CHARACTERS AND I WERE PRETTY TIGHT... ESPECIALLY the EVIL QUEEN & RAPUNZEL. I EVEN WORKED AT DISNEYLAND FOR A FEW YEARS AS A CAST MEMBER AT DISNEY’S PARADISE PIER HOTEL. I STILL HAVE A COLLECTION OF MICKEY EARS AND MAY OR MAY NOT WEAR THEM WHILE SITTING AT MY COMPUTER? Jk, I DEFINITELY don't do that...
I AM OBSESSED WITH MY DOG ZEDDICUS (ZEDD FOR SHORT) BECAUSE HE’S JUST THE BEST. THAT’S THE ONLY WAY TO DESCRIBE it. HE HAS THESE FURRY EARS THAT STAND STRAIGHT UP, HE SMILES WHEN YOU cOME HOME AND JUMPS ON TOP OF THE COUCH FOR A HUG AND WILL KISS YOUR FACE OFF ANY CHANCE HE GETS.
I WILL ALWAYS LAUGH WHILE WATCHING THE OFFICE, EVEN IF IT’S FOR THE HUNDREDTH TIME. IF I HAD TO PICK MY FAVORITE "JIM ON DWIGHT PRANK" IT HAS TO BE WHEN HE FAXES DWIGHT LETTERS FROM FUTURE DWIGHT... IT also NEVER GETS OLD HEARING DWIGHT SHOUT “MICHAEL!”. I'm straight obsessed, y'all.
MY PERFECT DAY IS ROAD TRIPPING WITH NEW FOUND GLORY & MY EMO JAMS ON THE RADIO, SITTING BESIDE MY CALEB, OUR DOG ZEDD IN THE BACK, ON OUR WAY TO EXPLORE THE OUTDOORS.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, I ACTUALLY HAVE A BACHELOR’S DEGREE IN PHOTO-JOURNALISM FROM AN AMAZING UNIVERSITY IN A TINY TOWN CALLED LA VERNE. HERE, I WAS FORCED TO START FROM THE BASICS BY USING AN ALL MANUAL FILM CAMERA, HAND PROCESSING THE FILM AND THE PRINTS. SO MANY HOURS IN A DARKROOM AND I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT.
