Alive in the Lens is about more than beautiful images — it’s about making you and your brand feel truly seen.

With over 16 years in the wine industry and two decades in marketing, design and communications, I've seen firsthand how a single, powerful image can not only tell a story and reaffirm your branding, but also drive sales and engagement.

My career has been built on understanding how to translate a brand's essence into visuals that resonate deeply with an audience. My passion is to create that very impact for entrepreneurs and businesses who are showing up with both purpose and heart.

This passion is deeply connected to my work outside of photography. As the founder of Hearts Alive Yoga, Women's Circles, and Retreats, I'm committed to supporting women in finding their strength, voice, and purpose. This same spirit of empowerment and collaboration infuses my photography. My goal is to co-create that authentic energy — your confidence, your vision, your true self — in a way that feels honest, relaxed, and real.

I bring vibrant energy and curious presence to every session. My approach is intuitive and easygoing, built on a genuine partnership with you. When you feel at ease in front of my lens, a powerful authenticity emerges, and that's the shot that will ultimately support your branding and storytelling.

I photograph people and places and specialize in working in California's wine country. I am inspired by the places and people that define this region.

Whether you're launching a new venture, refreshing your brand, or simply ready to be seen as you truly are, I'm here to help you bring your vision to life. Let's create something impactful, together.
