Hey there everyone! I'm a recent transplant to the Winston-Salem area, originally from sunny Southern California where everyday is a good day to shoot! As an artist I have 15+ years in creative visual production including photography, branding, and graphic design and I’m so excited to bring my knowledge and talents to North Carolina.
In addition to being a photographer and artist, I’m a mom to two amazing young adults and recently married to my high school sweetheart and love of my life. HUGE HUGE HUGE baseball fan {Go Dodgers!}! I’m a whiskey girl...but as I get older its becoming clearer that we need to break up. I listen to the Beatles EVERY SINGLE DAY. I have been called a crazy cat lady once or twice in my life...although I don’t think 4 gatos is pushing maximum crazy, but you can be the judge of that ;) Most of the time you will find this suburban hippie barefoot - and yes the bottoms of my feet get pretty gross but, thank God for pedicures! I love to cook (and eat!), but I’m a terrible late night snacker and I detest exercise. I’m a tall girl so of course, my toxic trait is googling the height of every famous person I see on tv. What’s yours?!?!
Most relevant to you - I fell in love with photography and design when I was a gangly young pre-teen. Back in the 80’s, armed with my Kodak Ektralite camera, I’d dress up my little sister and create ”sets” in the yard and shoot till I ran out of film. I’ve spent the last many years honing my photography and design skills through traditional methods of learning as well as workshops, mentorships, and of course - practice, practice, and more practice. Story telling has been a great love of mine for decades now and I couldn't be more excited to explore my new city, meet new clients/friends, and build lasting connections in my new community. For my new and old friends/clients on the West Coast, I travel! I’m back in California frequently and would love to work together!
