Born and raised in Southern California, I’ve got a fresh take on family photography. I live in Irvine, CA with my family.
I began my career in graphic design, but after becoming a mom, my interests shifted to lifestyle family photography. After doing online searches for family photos that felt real, honest, yet elevated, and coming up empty when searching, I started to think about creating the kind of images I wished I could find. Something that felt like our own editorial feature, but still true to who we are. Now, almost 8 years later, I have a business that serves families seeking exactly what I was looking for as a new mom: fun, playful, expressive, unposed family photos.

I work with families who appreciate a laid-back experience. With parents who are playful, present, and don’t mind letting the kids just be kids.
Real moments. Real people. No posing, no pretending. Just the warmth of who you are on a good day, with the people who matter most. My photographs are made to feel like coming home, and sometimes they're made right there. Ask me about my at-home family sessions in Orange County. Unhurried. Full of love. Made to last.
Because these moments won't wait.
