What I love most about photography is the opportunity to capture authentic, raw emotion while meeting interesting and adventurous people. There is truly nothing like it. Add a little amazing natural light and you’re on your way to some beautiful photography.
I’ve been capturing weddings, family lifestyle photography and casual portraits for more than a couple decades now working primarily in the Sacramento, Lake Tahoe, Napa, and San Francisco Bay areas, as well as all along the coastlines around San Diego and Coronado and everywhere in between.
Thank you so much for visiting my website and taking a few minutes to look at some of my photographs. I’ve been photographing weddings, families, milestones, and events for over 20 years. I know secret and beautiful photography shoot locations around Sacramento, Lake Tahoe, Napa, the San Francisco Bay area, and the California coastline from Point Reyes down to San Diego and Coronado.

Hailee’s mama was in daycare with my children, and her grandmother was my oldest daughter’s first-grade teacher. What a small and special world! Hailee was mostly a sleepy little dream for our session, with the sweetest little smiles popping through here and there. I absolutely loved watching Ashlynn and Wyatt so carefully and lovingly care for their new little one. The tenderness between them
Jack and Dana ~ June 13, 2026
My husband, Jeff and I don’t usually wear two hats at a wedding. We’re either there as guests or I’m there as the photographer. But every once in a while, there are people who have been part of your life for so long that the lines blur in the best possible way. For Jack and Dana, there was never a question. I’ve been photographing Jack’s family since he was a toddler. Over the years, I’ve watched birthdays, milestones, and seasons of life unfold through our friendship and through my camera. For years, Jeff and Bob, Jack’s dad—worked together, and years
