My New Studio!

At the end of 2016, my husband and I decided to convert our garage into a makeup studio for me, a media center for us, and a loft bedroom for overnight guests. It took all of 2017 but it was totally worth it! Our contractor, Edward Ferguson and his structural engineer, Walter Reyes, were so amazing. It came out exactly like we wanted it!

What I've Been Up To This Year

When I'm not doing weddings, head shots, infomercials, or taking care of private clients going to award shows, I like to do "styled shoots" or  basically getting photos for my portfolios on my website. It also gets me acquainted with vendors that I haven't worked with before. It's the most comfortable
way for me to network- a sort of win-win situation. Here are a few examples of the shoots that I've worked on:
