I am truly blessed to say that I absolutely love what I do. I love the energy of little children and happiness that surrounds the events I photograph. After graduating with a B.A. in Fine Arts from the University of California Santa Barbara, I fell in love with telling stories through images I captured while teaching and studying abroad. It was not a difficult decision to devote my life to photography and enter photography school. There I learned the science of handling different kinds of film, mastering lighting and creating beautiful prints. I spent hours perfecting my images in a traditional darkroom as well as the digital darkroom. My background as a fine arts painter has helped me fine tune my skills in photography.

I strive to create images that convey the emotional essence of the people, places and events I photograph. My style is very natural and unobstructed. I promise to capture the true moments of your life.

I look forward to meeting you soon!
