Yesterday I photographed the Women’s March GOTV Rally in Sacramento. It was a peaceful event on the west steps of the Capitol full of women and men, young and old, who all felt the urgency to DO SOMETHING. Like those who have paved the way for my own rights, I felt compelled to continue to pave the way for my daughters’ rights and their future. It’s inconceivable they might have fewer rights than my mother or me. There were other protesters adjacent to the rally. Despite the sound of sirens on a recorded loop which were intended to disturb this…

THANK YOU EL DORADO COUNTY! for voting for me as BEST FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER and also third in WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY! What an honor! They say that “doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life”- and I am so honored for the abundance that your friendship and support has provided for me and my family over the last 24 years. From pregnancy to birth to newborns to kids to families to high school seniors, to engagements to weddings and sometimes back around again. What a ride it has been! Fall Family photographs are in full swing. Let’s…

You studied, you tested, you worked hard for years, and the time is officially here! It’s time to start thinking about senior photographs and I’m eager to collaborate with you to create photographs that you love. As a photographer, I want to make sure you are comfortable and having fun during your session.

I realize that I’m surrounded by unique objects from my life and travels and that each artifact tells a different story. As someone who enjoys exploring other cultures, I realized that the stories I collect aren’t just about objects. They are about people.

It’s puppy time. Bring on the Bichons. Getting to spend a couple of hours smothered in puppy love was just what the doctor ordered after all of this snow and rain. I was so glad when Laura asked me to come out to visit before they all those fluffy white cuties went to their new homes. All my friends kept asking me if I picked one up for our home. Having just got both of our kids into college, my response was “I’m done child-rearing for now, but they sure are sweet”. Much love to you and Martin!

So far, Ember and I have been out for two senior sessions….one of the perks I imagine of having a mom who is a photographer. The first session was in downtown Sac with her good friend Fiona and then we went out again to Sly Park Lake while I was testing out my new camera, a Z6ii, mirrorless. The next session I promised her is with her famous and spoiled cat, Trouble…so stay tuned. It’s sure to be a quick one. I can’t believe my youngest is now a high school senior and graduating this May from CUP in Placerville.…

Back in October while I was running around the southwest in my teardrop trailer, one of my favorite people got married in a small ceremony, to her love, Trevin, before he left for duty in Italy. While I would have loved to have photographed the two of them, Trevin was already on his way overseas. I called Elise(who does that? I sent her an IG message) and she was game. Sweet! I was so happy to be creative with Elise, “the Bride” out in the bright colors of fall and the soft light of the afternoon. Plus, I love a…

Hello, nice to meet you.
We arrived as strangers at the home of Michelle and Robert at about 7pm, on the day the Caldor Fire evacuated Pollock Pines, though they certainly didn’t make us feel that way. We had spent most of the evacuation day slowly prepping which in 95726, means you’re lucky.
