Hi everyone!

I’ve been getting quite a few messages lately asking if I’m still running my photography business and felt it’s time to give an update.

As of right now I have taken a step back from it. As many of you know my daughter Autumn is moderately/severely Autistic. Now very recently she has been diagnosed with epilepsy.

It’s been a very scary second diagnosis to handle with her being nonverbal and have no warning of a seizure coming. All we can do right now is keep her safe, protected and have us there for her all hours of the day.

I’m hoping to get back to photography again but right now it is the last thing on my mind as we navigate everything day by day.

I’m happy to give referrals to some amazing photographers I know if need be and thank you to all my amazing clients that have been with me for years. I’m grateful for you all ❤️

It is so hot right now so how about we start daydreaming about Fall!

For family photos this year I will be offering 30 minute and 60 minute sessions as usual! 30 minute sessions must take place within 20 miles distance from Riverside and 60 minute sessions must take place within 30 miles of Riverside. If you have a specific location in mind that is outside of that range, a mileage fee will be added on.

Again like last year I will not be having any mini session dates. Below are all the dates I have available and there is a $50 non-refundable retainer that will be due as well as signing a contract to lock in your date.

Feel free to message me with any questions you guys may have and I can’t wait to see my returning clients and hopefully meet some new ones!

I absolutely love it when my wedding clients return to me for the next moment in their lives ❤️

From engagement photos, to their wedding and now their maternity photos, I am so grateful for all of it!

Hello Monday!

This rain sure is putting a damper on my motivation for the day but the sun will be back tomorrow. So in the meantime, it’s sweatpants, an oversized t shirt and old movies for me!

Before the day is done I need to say Happy 1 year anniversary to Desi and Denise! Their wedding was hands down one of my all time favorites 🧡

Wow it’s been a while since I’ve made an actual post!

The holiday season has been incredibly busy with family time but wonderful 🧡 Here is a glimpse into how beautiful my last shoot of the year went with Edna and Trevor’s engagement session!

I will always love this location! The view of the city is amazing with all the hills plus the sunset never disappoints 🧡

This weekend was my last wedding for 2023!

I’m so grateful for all the couples I worked with and enjoyed every single one! I only have 1 more session for the year and then I get a nice break and get to enjoy the holiday season with my family 🧡
