A Bay Area Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer based in East Bay, California. I am a wife, human and fur mom, and a Japanese food enthusiast. I photograph people who are looking for adventure and who are into raw emotions. Candid moments are the best ones. I am beyond grateful to have worked with people who want those raw, authentic, fun moments captured.

Some fun fact: I got engaged at Oracle Arena during a Warriors game! #GODUBS. When I am not photographing couples or families and not chasing after my toddler, my way of recharging is learning about gardening. I love exploring new places and to cuddle with my babies.  I know how fast our little ones get and this why I love documenting their childhood.
