PORTRAITS

Lover of ideal love, cute dogs and good food. Beach day enthusiast.

"THERE IS NO PASSION TO BE FOUND IN PLAYING SMALL - IN SETTLING FOR A LIFE THAT IS LESS THAN THE ONE YOU ARE CAPABLE OF LIVING."

Eight years later, we headed back to the west coast to soak up the sun! Besides photography, my loves include our daughter Luna, four-legged children Benny and Fettuccini, sushi, and the beach. Oh, and if there’s ever a photo booth around, you can probably find me in it!

I am a Santa Barbara wedding photographer but travel all over the world to document authentic love stories. I grew up in Santa Cruz in a large family. As soon as I graduated from high school, I headed down to Santa Barbara to attend the Brooks Institute of Photography. Then I followed my chef husband Cosmo to Chicago, where we wore significantly more layers.

WHAT I LOVE

ABOUT ME

Since they're sometimes my husband's only day off (that's the life of a chef!), we lay around with our dog Benny, go for a long walk down to the ocean, and then have a little date night.

LAZY MONDAYS

I love popping a bottle with friends to celebrate ... or just on a Tuesday!

ALL THE Champagne

My husband has turned me into a shoe fanatic - from stilettos to sneakers, I don't think I'll ever have enough.

Shoes, SHOEs, shoes

Exploring the country and the world is so important to me; we go on at least one international trip a year (Mexico, Japan, and Italy were a few of our recent faves!). But my favorite thing is traveling to document love stories. I've got my passport; let's go!!

WORLD travel

My dream is to one day live on a huge plot of land and rescue all kinds of animals, from cats and dogs, to cows, pigs, and more dogs.

PRETTY MUCH ALL Animals
