Summary

I am a photographer from Northern Nevada. I love capturing moments and making people feel beautiful about themselves. I have been happily married to my amazing hubby for over 17 years and we have been together for over 21 years. We have 4 adult children and 1 fur baby, Hank. I am a heart attack survivor and a 4 x author.

I love going on adventures, watching 49ers football, the state of Nevada, and all things that nature has to offer.

I am not your ordinary photographer. I love all moments, even the ones that are not "posed perfectly."

I feel like everyone should have at least one professional photo shoot in their life.

A professional photo shoot should make you feel amazing about yourself or freeze precious moments in time for you to look back on. I love taking pictures of people, nature, animals and landscapes. Practically anything that catches my eye.

I would love to help you with any and all of your photography needs. If you want to help me build my portfolio, and you are interested in a photo session please let me know. Lets make some memories together.

When people look at my pictures I want them to feel the way they do when they want to read a line of a poem twice. - Robert Frank
