Let's keep it real, I wasn't born to be a photographer!
I stumbled upon it while I was working as a Cake Decorator -Yup cakes... Three tiered, Fondant, Delicious cakes! During that time I was also planning my own wedding! Then IT happened, our "Engagement session". And I was hooked! ​

Our photographer was able to capture the REAL us! Suddenly I had this overwhelming urge to capture others and give them those same excited feelings that we had. To relax, flirt, joke, get sweet and intimate, to simply be themselves! I wanted to tell their story.

Here we are, ten years later... cuddling on the couch with my hunka husband and 3 kiddos -watching Shark Tank, munching on some chocolate ice cream.

​On the weekends I get to escape in the sweet serenity of other peoples' love stories. ​​​​
Capturing the natural connection between lighthearted couples is my passion. 
​My style is Soft, Romantic, and Fun. I've had the privilege of being featured on some of my favorite wedding blogs; Southern California Bride, Wedding Chicks, and Style Unveiled.
​
​But I'm not just the "photographer" that snaps a bunch of pics and calls it a day! I was a bride that was right where you are -overwhelmed with options, having to trust complete strangers with huge tasks that can either make or break the biggest day of your life. ​I'm the friend that will guide you through a stress-free wedding experience, by sharing tips and tricks on how to prepare from the very beginning this way your day runs as smooth as humanly possible.

​Think of me as a bridesmaid with a camera. I fix flyaways, bustle gowns, grab shoes, tuck in those annoying hanger straps, hold bouquets, pin boutonnieres, fluff dresses, dab tears away without smudging makeup, catches the runaway ring bearer, and much more!

It was such a pleasure working with you and creating our new friendship!

I was so impressed with EVERYTHING and cannot wait for you to capture Ty and I's family, maternity, and "all that good stuff" memories in the future.

CLAUDIA & MIKE
"Your message and pictures couldn't have come at a better time. Minutes before you sent this, Mike informed me that his aunt passed. His aunt who you captured pictures of at her very last outing. His family was overjoyed with the pictures. We LOVE the pictures as well, I'm so so happy! Thanks again for everything, we are super happy we chose you!! "
