joy in the journey

After settling in to our new city and the twins were a bit older, I decided to reignite my passion for photography.
Now I have the honor of working with amazing women entrepreneurs as a personal brand photographer.
As a brand photographer I’m in the business of creating courageously authentic images for modern women looking to stand out in the crowd.

Being a professional photographer has brought me so much joy over the years.
I started my career as a wedding photographer in 2004 - yikes, I can’t believe that was almost 20 years ago. After becoming a Twin Mom and moving across the country, I made the difficult decision to close my business and focus on my kiddos.

I believe is in the journey.

Do what you love and success will follow.
Passion is the fuel behind a successful career.

Growing up my Grandmother was my absolute favorite person - as it should be, right! We would spend the weekend driving from yard sale to yard sale buying whatever caught our eye. She would make Foldgers coffee and sneak me a few sips as long as I didn’t tell my Mom. I loved being at her house and loved being in her presence. Through my young, innocent eyes, my Grandma was perfect. As I got older I realized that my Grandma wasn’t perfect. She was human like everyone else. She had flaws, made mistakes, and experienced the highs and lows of life as we all do. My Grandma was from a small town in Mississippi and eventually moved to California. She had a 6th grade education, raised 12 children and she ran her own business. Against all odds my Grandma was an entrepreneur. She conquered an array of hurdles to bring the best life for her and her family, with the tools that were available to her. My journey has been much easier compared to my Grandma's, yet the goal is the same - to create the best life for me and my family.
That's why my mission is to help female entrepreneurs live their life on their terms. Through personal brand photography I help you connect with your ideal clients, grow your business and live your life by design.

I believe if my Grandma Grace could do it
so can we!

These two keep me on the go. If I'm not working you'll find me at a soccer game or tennis match for one of my kiddos. They keep the calendar full of activities and the house full of love and laughter.
