Our beginnings
Born and raised in San Diego, California I was blessed to be surrounded by a picturesque community made up of ocean waves, beautiful mountains, and scenic parks filled with smiling faces. Growing up I used to go through boxes of family pictures. I was captivated by the smiles on the joyous faces. Black and white images of weddings, family parties, and simple gatherings. The golden photographs of my childhood in the warm tones printed on Kodak paper bringing feelings of nostalgia.
I met the love of my life in high school. That moment I knew she was the one, and we were married as soon as we graduated. Starting our family at a very young age we went through so many experiences together. After 36 years of marriage, three children, and most recently our first grandchild I am reminded of the precious commodity that is time. Yes, in case you were wondering, the song 'Time in a bottle' makes me cry.
Our lives are made up of intimate moments that we hope our family will cherish. Everything we do, we do for our family. The greatest gift anyone could ask for.
Every family has its own rhythm — the laughter, the chaos, the quiet in-between moments that say more than words ever could. My goal is to capture those real connections, the ones that remind you how much love fills your everyday life.
Because time doesn’t slow down. Kids grow, moments fade, and those ordinary days you thought would last forever become memories in an instant. Let’s make sure those memories live on — not just in your mind, but in beautiful images you can hold, share, and pass down.
A session isn’t about posing for the camera; it’s about being yourselves and letting your story unfold. The hugs, the inside jokes, the little glances — that’s where the magic lives.
Let’s capture your family, just as you are — perfectly imperfect and beautifully real.
