Hello and Welcome to My Blog!

I’m so glad you’re here! Through this blog, I aim to share helpful tips, guides, resources, and insights from my experiences as a photographer. As a California native, I’ve spent most of my life exploring this beautiful state, from its stunning beaches to the majestic mountains and deserts. I also had the incredible opportunity to live and travel throughout Europe for 11 years, which shaped my perspective and passion for capturing moments.

Now, I photograph weddings, events, and family portraits, primarily along California’s beaches but also in its breathtaking countryside. I absolutely love what I do and look forward to sharing my experiences and knowledge with you. Feel free to explore, and if you have any questions or are looking for a photographer, I’d love to connect. If not, I hope you enjoy the stories and information I’ll be sharing here!
