My journey into photography began in junior high, when I joined the yearbook club and first experienced the thrill of storytelling through images. From framing candid smiles to capturing monumental events, I was hooked on the idea of preserving moments that would otherwise fade. That passion quickly turned into a lifelong love affair with the camera—one I’ve carried with me through every stage of my life. 

After years of honing my craft, I found immense joy in sharing my knowledge with others. For the past three years, I’ve been teaching photography as a public school media teacher in Tempe. Guiding students to see the world through a creative lens and helping them discover their own artistic voices has been one of the most rewarding chapters of my career. It’s a privilege to not only document life’s beauty but also to inspire others to do the same.

Beyond photography, my greatest joy is my family. As a proud mom of three incredible boys, I’ve learned to see the beauty in everyday moments—messy laughter, quiet cuddles, and the milestones that make life so meaningful. My late husband, who now watches over us, is a constant source of inspiration. His memory encourages me to cherish every fleeting moment and to celebrate life in all its forms.

Photography, for me, is so much more than a profession—it’s a way of connecting with people, preserving their stories, and celebrating what makes them unique. Whether it’s capturing the love of a family, the excitement of a milestone, or the essence of a personal brand, I approach each session with the same care and passion that first drew me to this art form. Every moment holds a story, and I feel truly honored to help my clients tell theirs.
