My photography business didn’t just begin one day when I decided to pick up a camera…I would like to think that I was “destined” to be in the photography industry!

My dad, Van, opened our family owned and operated studio in 1978. His many years of dedication and great relationships with clients grew to a thriving business that he left me when he passed away from cancer in 2012. Our studio had been located in Madera since 1978… but when I became preganant with my third son I decided to take a big leap of faith and move all of my studio operations closer to home in Shaver Lake. Not only do I get to spend more quality time with my precious boys... I also get to work in a landscape made to be captured by a camera!

I believe that I am more than just a photographer... I become part of your family, your tribe... and each time we work together our images express the connection we have behind the camera.  I absolutely love what I do, and I look forward to working with you in the future!
