My love of photography began when my oldest son, Jack, was little and I wanted to remember every little move he made. Now, when I'm not taking pictures of my kiddos, I love taking photos of our camping trips, nature, and anything rusty I can find.
Some things about me:
I am a sensitive introvert, and happily married to my husband Ryan, with two little boys. I have my degree in Early Childhood Education, and currently work a couple of days a week as a teacher's aide at the boy's elementary school, along with running my small business.
Typically our house is a mix of chaos, happy squeals that can occasionally turn into crying, and lots of love. We have a beagle mix named Maisy, who is known to add to the chaos with her never-ending energy. And our newest addition, Hank the kitten. Hank is a tabby who LOVES to wrestle with Maisy, they are hilarious together!
I recently won Best Photographer in Scotts Valley, and at the start of 2025 found out that I was one of the vendors who won Best of Zola, which I am super excited about!
Anyway, I guess that's all for now! Feel free to pop into my inbox to say hi, can't wait to talk to you soon!
