Three years ago I had the privilege of sharing my small business story with Voyage LA. During that interview, we discussed how I got started in photography and some of the challenges along the way. Despite feeling a bit awkward talking about myself in such detail, I was honored to be included in their series!…
Like most everyone in Southern California, I’ve been sheltered in place for the past couple of months as a precaution against the COVID-19 outbreak. In the meantime I’ve still been working behind the scenes assisting clients, working on business-related tasks, and catching up on some learning opportunities. While I don’t mind having a little pause…
Life is hectic enough as it is, then throw-in trying to plan a wedding, or running a small business, and now, of all things: A new-to-humans virus that randomly brings the better part of the world to a screeching halt. Even the most rock-solid calm people among us are feeling pretty unsteady right about now….
To be honest, when I first got the email asking for an interview to be featured on Voyage LA Magazine, I thought it was spam. “Ha! Why would they want to interview me?” But then, for whatever reason, I decided to click over to the examples of the other people who’d been featured and something about the way…

Ok. So It’s time for a confession… Before this last August, the last time I paid a photographer to photograph my husband and I was our wedding in 2006. Terrible right? 🙁 I have always intended to have our portraits taken, but good intentions alone rarely yield results. And as supportive as he is in…
Last year I joined a photography group on Facebook whose purpose was to network and help photograph each other. Every few months we get together, mingle, and photograph one another so that some of us can portfolio build and others can get photos of themselves. Each event has brought more and more new faces to…
This post was supposed to be epic. Ok, well not epic, but it was supposed to be cooler than this for sure. This week I’m in Las Vegas attending WPPI, a photography conference and expo for wedding and portrait photographers. So I was going to share a sweet shot of the strip with you guys,…
