Hello and welcome to my blog!

I'm a lifestyle photographer based out of San Luis Obispo, CA. My home has some of the most amazing places to photograph, but that's not to say that I don't love to travel to new and EXCITING places. One of the greatest things about my profession is all the people I get to meet along the way.

I specialize in babies and children and I LOVE photographing weddings (who doesn't love a good love story). I'm always up for a challenge and will photograph just about anything that comes my way. Here on this blog you will find my latest work as well as bits of my own life. I am a mother to a beautiful little boy and wife to an amazing man. Life can be crazy, fun and a little wild. I take my camera to capture those moments.

Thanks for stopping by, be sure to leave a comment-I love comments!!

The holiday sessions are in full swing around here. I started early and I still ended up booked through November. I am always so grateful when people come to me for their holiday photos. I have received many referrals this year which is always nice. I look forward to next year when I have more time. I hate to have to turn people away. If only I didn’t have to sleep. I am lucky to make it to 11pm these days.
Here are a few from earlier today. I was a little nervous with shooting mid afternoon, but we got some beautiful images!

Holiday Mini Sessions!

Yes, it is only August but before you know it we will be gearing up for the holidays! These will be the ONLY mini sessions I will be offering so be sure to book a slot as soon as you can save the date. Full payment is due at time of booking to secure your slot. There are only 3- 5 slots for each day.

Full sessions are also going to still be available for families who feel they need more time and want a specific location. The dates are listed below.

All holiday sessions full or mini need to be booked in September, October and early November to ensure they are completed in time for you to order prints (processing time is 2-3 weeks). This also will decrease the possibility of rain.

What a fun day at Avila Beach we had for the mini sessions today. I would like to thank all the families who participated and I would also like to thank my sister Mandy for assisting me and keeping me company. We had a blast!
