Home is a privileged place to be. I have struggled with being content while being at home. I was constantly on the go when I had 1 little one, then I had 2 little ones and that didn’t slow me down one bit. Then I had 3 little ones and oh my! I barely left…

Birth Stories and Postpartum Recovery (Orange County Birth Photographer)
I’ve been a professional photographer since 2010 but didn’t start documenting birth stories until 2013. My friends were always pregnant right at the end of my pregnancies or just after I had a baby. So when they had their babies I was ready with my camera! I focused on maternity and posed In Home Newborn…
Woodland Themed Baby Shower (La Mirada Maternity, Birth and Newborn Photographer)
I just love the woodland theme! You can dress it up, dress it down, make it for a girl or for a boy. It’s just so versatile! The nice part is a lot of the decorations were things that were gathered from different households (Grandma, sisters, mama) or foraged from a nature walk. I love…
Featured – A Birth Story & Fresh 48 (Southern California Birth Photographer)
Sweet girl was born just before midnight.
She was so aware and wanting to see what was going on. She even was checking out me and my camera, but she especially wanted to stare at her mama who she had heard and already knew for so long already.
Focusing on what’s Important this Holiday Season (Orange County Documentary Family Photography)
The forecast mentioned rain today… but I really didn’t believe it. Was I being pessimistic or a realist? I think a pessimist is someone who says “it’s not going to happen, or won’t happen” (when referring to something good or beneficial). As oppose to a realist who makes a judgement or has an opinion based…

Mom, it’s time you learned to use that nice camera. You want to be able to take pictures of your children and family and you don’t want them dark and blurry. Now is the perfect time to pull out your camera and start documenting this life and these moments! Already know how to use your…
Featured – Bodhi’s Birth Story (Orange County Birth Photographer)
I strongly believe a woman should birth wherever she feels the safest and most comfortable to do so. And if your birthing location has a pretty great view then that’s definitely a bonus. 😉 Aimee and I only met less than a month before her due date. This was her 5th little one and she…
My Photography Journey (Southern California Documentary Family Photographer)
When I was a little girl I would take pictures of my cats. I would pose them on this little wicker end table and use almost a whole roll of film just on them. Then when I was a little older I always took pictures of clouds. Those big fluffy clouds that had pictures in…
Learning to See, a 2018 Project 52 (Southern California Documentary Family Photographer)
I’m finally saying yes to a Project 52 this year! I never committed to one before, I think it’s because in my head I already knew I wouldn’t be able to finish it, so I basically failed before I started. Maybe I have commitment issues… Maybe I just don’t want to be held accountable… Whatever…
