I was so excited when Ron contacted me about shooting Kyra’s senior portrait shoot. Tiffany Thomsen of Tiffany’s Sports Teams and Photos sent him my way. Tiffany has been so helpful and supportive since I first called her a couple of years ago and said “Help! I am shooting my first team!” Thank you so […]

It’s Senior Sunday! I am currently working on two awesome senior sessions that are not finished yet, so I decided to share an amazing session from this summer! Mary and I met at the Benbow Inn on an overcast Tuesday morning this past summer. She was so sweet, and a total natural in front of […]

I LOVE sports! I fell in love with basketball at the age of 12 when I first picked up a ball.  I remember my parents telling me that if I wanted to go to college, I would have to earn a scholarship because they couldn’t afford to pay for it.  That lit a fire in me, […]

You dont have to ask me twice to head to Garberville Community Park at the golden hour.  Thats where I photographed Cadence and it was an absolute great session in every way. We met at the park around 6:00, with the sun starting its descent for the evening. Cadence was a complete natural in front of […]

A senior shoot on the ball field for high school sweethearts. 

This was SUCH a fun season filled with amazing people and so many beautiful pictures. I am so happy to get to build confidence by providing seniors with photos that they can look at and love, and I am SO happy with all of the feedback I have been getting from my seniors and from […]

I’m throwing this blog back to fall of 2016. Since I have a new website and am trying to update my blogs more consistently, you may see some older shoots surfacing. Katelynn and I met in a little spot in the Redwoods. It had been raining non stop so the ground was pretty saturated, but […]

I shot Larissas family photos a couple of years ago, so I was super excited about getting the opportunity to shoot her engagement session. She and Nick wanted their photos taken on Paradise Ridge in the beautiful Southern Humboldt with gorgeous mountain and Shelter Cove ocean views. We had set the shoot up a couple […]

Becca is a girl after my own heart. She is shy and sweet, a tomboy athlete. Just like I was in high school. Who am I kidding? I still am. We both attended Rio Dell Elementary School and Fortuna Union HIgh. Becca and her mother and sister journeyed down to Southern Humboldt to take her […]

I will be 39 tomorrow. How in the heck did that happen? That is almost 40! Forty years of life. What have I learned? I believe life teaches us many lessons. For me it is God sending me signs. Others may call it the Universe. He has sent me a few signs the last few weeks in the form of turtles. When I received a gift from one of my students that had a turtle on it, it probed me to  search further to figure out what he was trying to tell me. So I looked up the symbolism of Sea Turtles.
