Photography has always been my favorite medium of art and capturing life's priceless moments of love and life is my inspiration. I am a storyteller behind the camera and with a fine arts background, I love creating timeless images of art. I'm a world traveler and love capturing the beauty within and around us.

Hello Naiyah

This newborn session has a very special place in my heart. (I get teary eyed thinking about it) When my eldest was born five years ago my dearest lola (grandmother) had passed away six months later. It was as if the heavens knew that I needed my daughter more than she needed me.  So in little Naiyah”s  nursery there was a darling picture on her bookshelf of her grandmother, Edgar’s mom, who had passed away. It was just the perfect touch,  the perfect detail,  to remember that she is one of God’s little blessings.

Darshan+Dhruti //Diamond Bar Wedding

From their beautiful engagement to their colorful wedding these two have been so fun. Remembering the touching words of their best friends both saying, “I knew Darshan/Dhruti was in love when…” I can’t help but smile because love truly changes a soul and it is a divine force that alters two hearts to become one.  Congratulations Darshan and Dhruti on starting your amazing journey as one.

Beautiful Welcome Ceremony at the Groom’s home.

They ended their day with an amazing reception with family and friends.

Oh the things your best friend will share as M.C.! =)

Engaged: Helvin+Janelle

It’s been said that people marry their best friends and I cant help but acknowledge that truth with this darling couple.  These two are fun loving, genuine, and so in love!  You can tell, that together, they’re complete.  It was my pleasure to photograph Helvin and Janelle and I can’t wait  to document their wedding in September.

 

 

 

 

Happily Ever After:Christian+Michelle

A new day, a fresh new look, these two just got married the day before and were up for some portraits around town. Michelle and Christian are high school sweethearts and they’ve celebrated many anniversaries together. So with the help of Aprille (our makeup artist) and Lacey ( our hair stylist) we did an amazing portrait session celebrating their “Happily Ever After.”

So if you’ve been happily married for years now; and/or might have eloped, I’m offering a portrait session to document your LOVE!  The portrait session comes with professional hair and makeup done, because you deserve to look AMAZING!
