It wasn't until my oncologist told me, "There's an 80% chance you won't carry again," that I truly understood my situation. As I underwent chemotherapy and radiation, I spent my late 20s in and out of the hospital. Once I emerged from that experience, I became passionate about my work and the purpose behind it.
They say that clarity comes after major life events, and I believe that's true. While I can no longer have children, I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to document these milestones. It’s a profound honor to be part of my clients’ families and to witness their babies grow.

I’ve been a photographer for 18 years, starting in 2006 in Los Angeles with fashion companies. After moving to Oregon with my husband, I pursued my passion for creating high-end baby and family photography, aiming to give everyone that magazine-quality look in their portraits.
Now, I mentor students, offer online education, travel to workshops, and judge competitions all while working with the best families I could ever imagine having the privilege to serve.
