"The session was so comfortable. I actually didn't feel like we were getting photos taken. Instead, I felt like I was hanging out with a friend!"

STOCKTON & LODI FAMILY, NEWBORN AND MATERNITY PHOTOGRAPHER
Where most people have a set photographic style and a bunch of preconceived ideas, I tailor my experience to my clients. After all, shouldn’t your session fit you perfectly?
WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT
One of the biggest compliments I can receive is: "these photographs feel like us." These images are not only for you to look back on and cherish this special season of your lives, they are for your children and your children's children. I want the images to be a testament to your love, bond, and each individual's personality.
They understand that perfection isn't the goal—it's about capturing the authentic moments filled with personality and charm. Even in the less-than-perfect images, there's a story to be told, a connection to be felt, and a warmth that radiates through every frame. These moments are infused with laughter, love, and genuine emotion, are the ones that truly reflect the beauty of your family's life.

my dream clients...
I am all about capturing those real, spontaneous laughs and heartfelt embraces—the kind that never go out of style. Think grainy black and whites capturing tiny details or film-inspired colors set against stunning, natural backdrops. My style is relaxed, candid, and bursting with the timeless essence that makes family memories last a lifetime.

From offering styling assistance to continued communication, I strive to provide an experience that goes beyond mere professionalism. It's about creating an atmosphere where you feel like you're spending time with a trusted friend. Because to me, photography isn't just about capturing images—it's about building relationships and creating lasting memories that you'll cherish forever.
