What About Me?

I can take great photos of other people but can’t take a good photo of myself!

My photography journey is long and winding. It all started back in LA. I moved there to become a commercial photographer when I was 20 and knew almost nothing about being a commercial photographer. Ohhhh to still have the confidence of a 20 year old. While not knowing much about what it took to shoot commercially I was motivated and eventually found myself assisting some of the best photographers in the business. I learned so much and am eternally grateful for the experience. It was exciting and hard work. Soon enough, I was ready to cut out on my own. I loved traveling and meeting people. I shot everything from celebrities to CEO’s to athletes to musicians.  

I eventually met someone who convinced me to move down to the beach, get married and have some kids. Once I became a mom I wanted to slow down and take a break from the hard work and just enjoy the days that I knew would be gone in a snap. While my camera was always close, I was no longer shooting celebrities in cool locations, I was documenting my own life with kids and everything that goes with it. It was wonderful.

As everyone got older I started missing work. I wanted to be creative again and do things that made me feel fulfilled. I now work with commercial brands, shoot headshots and families and have started a whole new branch of the business shooting fine art school photos.
