My passion is capturing your “you” - what makes you come alive.  I believe that each person has something incredibly unique to share, and that special quirky factor is what photographs so well.

Hi! I’m glad you clicked over to this section because it's important to work with a photographer who is a good fit for you and your brand. Take a look through my portfolio, read more about me below, and if you think we'd make a good team, contact me and tell me more about yourself.

I believe…

     … in being a good person, treating people with respect, and doing the right thing above all else.

     … every person has something unique that no one else has, something incredibly special. I value that. That's what I look to photograph.

     … showing someone their amazing self can instill self-confidence. And, your self-confident self can change the world.

Learn more about me through the kind words from my clients.

I’m big on sharing. Here is some of my story.

{Shutter bug} – I began shooting in 2000. I found a mostly functioning Minolta film camera. The light meter was broken so I read the light with my eye and guessed at my settings. It was a true test and learn environment. I took every class my high school offered and then decided to go to business school for marketing. As a hobbyist, I upgraded to a Canon film camera and eventually a Canon digital camera. In 2011, I went to yoga teacher training and realized that I needed to leave the corporate marketing world and pursue my passion. I started photographing yoga teachers from my training and my business grew organically. I photographed my first wedding in 2013 and left my corporate job in 2014 to run my business full time, focusing on yoga, family and wedding photography. I’ve since grown to include product photography.

{Small Business Advocate} - I am here to tell you to follow your passion. Don't focus on the barriers. Focus on what makes you come alive. If you ever need a boost, shoot me a note. I am a firm believer in following your Personal Legend.

{Aummm} – As I mentioned, I also teach yoga. I am trained in Vinyasa, prenatal and children’s yoga and have my Reiki Level 1 certification. Put simply, yoga has changed my life. I love yoga photography not only because I can cue alignment, but even more because I understand the deep meaning, passion, and connection to the practice. If you teach yoga, I’ll go on a limb to say that it has changed your life too. Let’s capture that passion. It photographs beautifully.

{My Gear Bag} – I shoot on the Sony a7R V mirrorless camera and two Canon 5D Mark III’s. I have been in love with my 100mm L f/2.8 for a very long time. If that sounds interesting, you can follow my Pinterest Board to see all of my current gear and visit my Amazon storefront to purchase the exact gear closet I’ve created.

{Let’s start something} – I come from a family of inspirational entrepreneurs and artists, and I shout out their incredible work every chance I get. My sister Laura is a film and media artist, my cousin Jessica founded The Brave Collection and Zahava, my Aunt Dawn owns Peridot Fine Jewelry, my Aunt MaryEllen is a fine art Photographer, and my cousins Eva and Sam head up their band Charly Bliss. The rest of them rock but they don’t have websites for me to shout out about.

{Inclusivity} - I love working with all people - all races, genders, sexual orientations, non-disabled and disabled. Reach out. I am an ally.

{Pronouns} - I use the pronouns she/her/hers.
