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!

San Diego Wedding: Emily and Graham


If you had to pick one word to describe Graham and Emily's wedding, it would probably be JOY.  These two approach life and their relationship with a sense of adventure and fun, so it's no surprise that their wedding was a reflection of this sentiment.  They are truly meant for each other and as friends and family gathered to celebrate their union, the outpouring of joy continued from the moment they began setting up to the very last dance (and Graham and Emily really know how to dance).

It's always an honor to document someone's special day, and even more so when it's someone you are friends with.  I was thrilled when the brilliant Nick of Nicholas Donner Photography asked me to assist him at this gorgeous San Diego wedding.  Be sure to check out his blog for even more photos from the day.


Enjoy!
