As a second generation photographer, I grew up playing in my parents’ photography studio.
—
Crawling over backdrops, props, and watching my mom photograph clients set the stage for who I was to become, and made an artistic life my only natural option.
When I wasn’t exploring my parents’ studio, I was jumping across creeks and rocks at my family’s home in Northern CA. Not afraid of the dirt, and only slightly afraid of bats, I was a barefooted wild child contented by reading books in the sun or building dangerous secret treeforts.
After graduating college, my real world training started where it began, back in my parents’ studio. As a second shooter I trained alongside my mom at weddings and helped my dad edit pictures. Learning everything I could, I tried to absorb 30 years of knowledge from the best teachers I could have ever found.
Now, with two little ones of my own, I cherish my photography as a way to remember those family moments that pass all too soon! I love being able to share my love of photography with other families and couples so that they too have lasting memories for years to come.
