YOUR VISUAL DIARY AWAITS

child-led

connection focused.

relaxed, real, beautifully you.

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.

The photo gallery of my dreams. Effortlessly genuine, emotional and detailed. They will be pictures I’ll cherish for my lifetime! She is insanely talented, down to earth, easy to talk to, and great with kids. I’m so glad I found her and will remember our wonderful experience forever.

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.

When 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.
