I’m a California native, born and raised in Los Angeles. I have always been a hopeless romantic, drawn to fairytales and timeless stories of true love. My husband and I are best friends and have been since we were teenagers. We met as next-door neighbors and although I have been taking pictures since I was a kid, it was my husband that helped me graduate from the disposable cameras of my childhood by giving me my first consumer film camera. We had a seven-year engagement and married after fourteen years of dating. There is no wrong way when it comes to love.
On our wedding day, our photographers gifted us tangible memories of the singular joy that is marrying your soulmate. Our laughter, our tears. The anticipation of getting ready, the excitement of driving off together at the end of the night. Our love, our story.
I began professionally shooting weddings shortly after that day. I started out under other photographers, working and building experience for three years. I launched XO and Fetti after discovering my own creative voice. I photographed the first XO and Fetti couple in June of 2016 and have had the honor of documenting many love stories since then! I want to build an experience for a couple from start to finish that only I can create. I want to give other couples the same gift my wedding photographers gave me. I’m grateful to be part of such a joyous moment in someone’s life.
My favorite movie growing up was the Labyrinth. I still play “As the world falls down” when I’m feeling nostalgic.
I’m obsessed with Disney! Especially the classics! The romantic tunes, the heavenly dances, the adorableness…!
My planner is my life. I journal everything and decorate the pages with various colored pens and stickers.
I’m a momma to two fur babies, dachshunds Pepper and Molly. I LOVE animals, especially at photo shoots!
If I had infinite time and money, I would travel the world with my hubby! We love discovering new places, near and far.
I never thought of myself as a collector of things until I looked in my kitchen cabinet and found I own way too many mugs.
I secretly want to become a Bonsai master. That is all.
I’m always up late; usually snacking and editing photos while listening to a binge-worthy show play in the background.
