Welcome to My Blog!!!

I am a northern Nevada based on-location photographer.   What exactly does on-location mean, anyway?  Well, I photograph you and your loved ones within the comforts of your home or an outdoor setting of your choice.   I specialize in wedding and children’s photography, but have a knack for capturing families and seniors as well.

A little bit about me…..I am a mother of two children, soon to be ages 6 and 8; time flies!  I love to be outside braving the elements.  You can often find me running with my dogs, skiing, and biking with my kids.

Because my sessions are at my client’s homes, each one is quite unique!   I enjoy the modern feel of bright colors and crazy patterns. Pictures shouldn’t be ’sterile’, they should be rich and vibrant!   I try to use natural light, but will bring some supplemental off camera lighting for dark spaces when necessary.   My sole purpose of the session is produce images that conjure up the emotion of the day.

Life will be different tomorrow, so remember today!

Families are Forever

I had a blast photographing Holly, Charles and Riley at my secret spot up at the lake.  Tahoe was beautiful,

but my subjects made it so much fun…..

Optical Illusions.....

I Love listening to Science Friday on NPR.  One of this week’s topics was about cephalopods and their amazing ability to camouflage themselves to ward off predators.  How can these creatures be color blind?  This optical illusion is stunning…..
