YOUR VISUAL DIARY AWAITS
You should see yourself,
being you,
it’s BEAUTIFUL.
If you’re looking to capture depth, texture, stillness and definitely some crazy, you’re in the right place.
I have a knack for reading a room and knowing what people need, especially kids.
My family and I live in a little house by the ocean, in a community full of young surfing families and some of our closest friends.
When I’m behind the camera, my goal is to make the person in front of me feel like they’re the only person in the world. I want my people to feel loved, celebrated, and truly seen.
And I’m always just trying to do the right thing out here in this wild, beautiful, messy world.

It would be an honor to spend a morning or evening, immersed into your world. This session is the most comprehensive and yet, the most relaxed. It ensures enough time to fully capture each personality, which is difficult to do under time constraints.
Let’s just hang out, drink coffee and let the day unfold.
This session is ideal for the nostalgic, who want to look back in 20 years and relive a perfect day, full of whimsy and texture.

I want to capture you,
BEING YOU.
I’ve been doing this for a while now, and here’s what I know:
The best photos happen when everyone feels relaxed, heard, and respected.
And kids feel this and have a little autonomy, they’re stoked. When the kids are happy, mom can breathe. And when mom is relaxed, dad is too.
My job is to take the lead and set the vibe (your kid becomes my sidekick) so you can focus on connecting.
THE SECRET SAUCE: good vibes, everyone feeling looked after. The unscripted moments take over.
