THE BACKSTORY
Before launching my business, I worked behind the scenes at a leading wedding editorial brand, ran the photo and social department for an e-commerce boutique, and directed content for a Forbes-listed travel and family influencer. That experience gave me a unique perspective: I didn’t just create content—I got to see how it performed across platforms. It taught me how to blend art
and analytics to produce imagery that resonates and converts. My roots run deep in photography, too—my mom is an award-winning family photographer, and I got my start assisting her. After studying art history and fashion, I moved to Paris, where I worked as a travel journalist (while chasing the perfect croissant). All of that influences how I see the world—and how I help brands tell their stories with style, strategy, and heart. I now live in San Diego with my husband, pup, and our twin babies.

For most sessions, I make a very detailed Creative Directive to streamline ideas, shot list, inspiration, and usage, that way we are on the same page. The Creative Directive is part of my proven process to ensure you get the shots you need of either you or your product, with on-brand colors, and photographed with placement in mind (like hero header vs Instagram).
how do you make sure i get the photos i need?
Each project is different and it really depends on what your needs are. During our Consultation Call, we'll talk about what kind of imagery you need to achieve your goals. From there, I create a custom proposal with different ways we can work together. To give you an idea, projects typically range from $5,000 - $50,000+, depending on the scope of the work and usage.
What kind of prices can I expect?
Absolutely. I coordinate talent that aligns with your audience and brand identity.
Can you help cast families or source models?
