Michelle & Mario

I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Michelle long before I was ever a photographer. We used to go to the Brandin’ Iron on the weekends way back in the day (if you know, you know lol). So when she hired me during my early years as a new photographer, it was an honor then as much as it is now. Watching her grow as a human and seeing her life evolve into what it is now has been amazing to see. I was also introduced to her fiancé when we did their photos and I couldn’t have picked a better man for her - the way he smiled at her spoke volumes to their love. I can’t wait to meet their little boy when he arrives! this summer!

Taylor - Class of 2022

What are they giving these high school seniors these days?! My god, they are skipping the awkward phase and going for straight GORGEOUS. I absolutely fell in love with Miss Taylor during her session and I can’t wait to see what she accomplishes in her future.

Shirley's Birthday Session

For a California girl, I am so not one to enjoy the beach… Unless a gorgeous girl asks me to shoot her birthday photos in the sand. How could I say no? An emerald gown and a borrowed crown gave us all the Little Mermaid vibes on the most perfect Sunday morning. You never really need a reason to book a photo shoot, but booking one to celebrate another trip around the sun for yourself is one of the better reasons I can think of.

Heather's Branding Session

When a fellow small business owner hires me to do their branding photos, I always do a little happy dance. We live in a media-driven world that often leaves us feeling disconnected from one another and branding photos are the perfect way to stand out. Showing up by showing yourself, in my opinion, is the best way to get your followers to connect with you. Never mind the fact that it’s always a good idea to have updated photos of yourself, because why not?

Heather is a local hair salon owner and she is expanding her business into something I can’t wait to see come to fruition. With the launch of this new brand, she needed new photos, and I was ecstatic that she hired me to help her! Downtown Riverside proved to be the perfect spot to accomplish what we did and I’m thrilled to show off a few teasers!

Sidenote: how adorable is she in that hat?! I so wish I could pull one off.
