HEY THERE, new friend.
Since becoming a wife and new(ish)mom,
capturing your love story from marriage to parenthood has taken on an even deeper meaning to me. Together, we’ll create something lasting — an honest, artful reflection of the vibrant heart beat behind your colorful life.
Through my lens, I’m drawn to the details that remind you how deeply connected you are to one another and to the world around you - from the quiet placement of lover's hands to the bursting laughter shared between siblings. My hope is that your photography experience invites you to slow down, feel honestly, and savor the real everyday moments that so often pass unnoticed, encouraging you to see your story with a gentler gaze and embrace the love, laughter, warmth, wonder, and natural beauty already surrounding you. I love what I do because the photographs we create will become cherished heirlooms, woven into your family’s legacy. One day, your children and grandchildren will piece them together to make sense of where they come from and who they are becoming.
Photography has been more than just an artistic expression.
What began as a gratitude practice, happiness project, and journey to healing became my mission to give you a gift my inner child once wished for: tangible proof of your life that will one day mean everything to everyone you call home. I hold a B.A. degree in Media Studies from University of San Francisco and a M.A. degree from New York University’s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development with almost 15 years of experience capturing unity in diversity across 10 countries. Today, from the sun kissed hills of Marin to the rugged coastline of Santa Cruz, I continue to photograph wedding days, motherhood, growing families, and curious children in discovery with an easy going presence and warm personal touch. When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me chasing my toddler Dylan as he explores his new world.
Till we get our chance to meet, shine on!

All are welcome here
My goal is to create a safe and inclusive space where you can feel seen, respected, and celebrated exactly as you are. I proudly welcome and serve clients of all races, ethnicities, cultures, gender identities, sexual orientations, abilities, body types, ages, religions, and family structures.
Educator's heart
As a former educator, I serve as your thoughtful guide. I blend planning and organization with warmth and ease. I know when to gently step in with clear direction and when to step back, allowing the day to unfold naturally. This balance ensures you feel supported, confident, and fully present.
intuitely supportive
Known for my personable skills, I help couples feel heard and relaxed reducing stress on a day that moves fast. With a natural ability to read the room and adapt quickly - shaped by navigating my life's nontraditional path - I bring creativity, flexibility, and calm problem-solving.
culturally aware
As a Mexican American photographer, I understand families have diverse values. From multigenerational traditions to meaningful cultural customs, I recognize what matters most and capture it with intention and care, honoring the fact that love, family, and weddings aren’t one-size-fits-all.
let's get together
