I graduated from Sonoma State University in 2006 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis in Photography and a minor in Art History. I have owned my own photography business and served alongside a Master Photographer. I have lived in Arizona, California, Hawaii and Virginia.  I now reside in my home town in Northern California with my husband and our three sons. Throughout owning a photography business I have also served in Youth With A Mission to be a voice for the voiceless as a photographer.  This was very fulfilling work.  I enjoyed the photojournalistic aspects as well as the influence our photographs made for positive change in Panama.  

In addition to traveling to Panama I have traveled and photographed in Spain, France, Italy, Australia, South Africa, Jamaica, Mexico, Egypt, Canada and various locations in The United States of America. I photograph with Canon equipment. My 5D Mark IV is accompanied with my L series 24-70mm f/2.8 lens, the 70-200mm f/2.8 lens and the 14-35mm f/4 lens. I also have a 50mm on hand, a Profoto A1 flash, a DJI Mavic 3 Classic drone and traveling studio lights for any occasion.

These are a few of the things that make me happy:
