My passion for photography grew while studying abroad in Florence, Italy. I was hooked from the start and could hardly put my camera down while documenting the vibrant architecture and countryside. I felt more connected to my Italian roots than ever before and believe that my future as a photographer was sealed right then and there.

Photographs have the power to transcend time allowing a person to relive some of their greatest memories. You deserve the trained eye of an experienced photographer to document life's most celebrated moments. After studying abroad, I completed my Bachelor of Arts at UC Berkeley and continued my studies at Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara. I worked alongside some the best in the business, establishing both a firm foundation and a strong portfolio from which to fly on my own. Fast forward twenty years, and I feel just as much joy in photography today as I did on day one.

Family means everything to me. I married my grade school crush and live about ten blocks away from where I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. We have a spunky blue-eyed girl and boy, a fanatical ball retrieving dog and two affectionate cats. Our little tribe makes my heart complete and our happy place can be found both traveling and building memories at home :)
