Happy Birthday, John!

personal

On this day, 30 years ago, my sweet husband was born into this world!

As he enters his fourth decade of life, I keep thinking how lucky am I to get to spend the next four or five or six decades with him. :-) Lord willing!

To the funniest, sweetest, quirkiest, and most loving man I’ve ever met! Happy Birthday, Babe! Let’s rock this next decade!!

Love,
Your Wife

A few pictures from our Santa Cruz, surprise, birthday celebration with a few of our pals! Lunch on the beach, followed by my husband’s favorite sport: sailing!

Get to know me

With 20 years of experience, I bring a calm, steady presence to your most meaningful days. I specialize in documenting relationships over time—from weddings and anniversaries to babies and families—with a love for black-and-white imagery, honest moments, and photographs that belong in albums, not just on a feed. There are no forced poses or “pretend to” prompts here, only space for what’s real. I’m not just here for the highlight; I’m here for the history you’re creating.

And I can't wait to capture your story
