I am a California girl at heart who is lucky enough to live in one of the most wonderful, un-California cities in the world, New York. Most days, you'll find me exploring my new home with my amazing husband and our dog, Friday. I love to travel, eat just about anything with peanut butter, meet new friends, shop, read, take pictures, and spoil other peoples' kids and pets rotten. This blog includes my rants and raves about my personal life as well as my adventures in the photography business.

Inspired by fashion, art, and pop culture, I love to capture images using natural light. Although I enjoy taking all kinds of pictures, my style veers towards lifestyle and editorial photography and my favorite subjects are people. I am a photographer purely for the love of it, and I think you'll see that reflected in my work.

Thank you for stopping by and please feel free to leave a comment!

Mike and Blanca: Family Portrait

Over Fourth of July weekend, Mike and Blanca invited me out to their home to take pictures of them and their adorable little boy, Nicky. Little did I know, this photo session would be more like an aerobic workout, as I tried to keep up with Nicky! He seemed to think this lady with the camera was all part of a game, so he ran around and babbled and squirmed his way throughout the session.

We tried so hard to coax him into sitting still, but afterward as I edited the session, some of my favorite images are where Nicky is just doing what Nicky wanted to do. His expressions are only matched by how cute he is in person - he has huge dimples and an infectious giggle - and you can really tell how much Mike and Blanca dote on him.

Mike and Blanca, muchas gracias for opening your home to us, for the Taco Man and margaritas, and for allowing me to capture images of your beautiful family!




I absolutely love this picture. Blanca was singing him a Spanish lullaby and Nicky was just mesmerized and lay perfectly still while she was singing.
