Your family is ever changing, from a brand new baby, to their first steps, to their first day of school. You know that they'll grow in a blink of an eye and you want to capture and savor every moment and detail. It may be their tiny little toes to their sweet little scowls for your newborn; for your 7 month old, it's their chubby thighs and their ever present smiles.
I am here for you. As a mom of three, I know how quickly time goes by and how quickly your child will grow. I absolutely love posing little newborns to
capture every special feature, to their lips to their sweet furry ears, or your
baby's sweet smiles and their chunky thighs.
I am a small town girl that grew up in Northeast Ohio. I love being a mother to two beautiful daughters and one amazing energetic boy. These children
are my world. I started my photography business in 2008 after getting out of
the corporate world and I couldn't be happier about that decision. I have a
great portrait studio located in Southern California in the amazing beach town of San Clemente. It is full maternity dresses, fine art outfits, and loads of props for newborns and babies!
My favorite part of being a photographer is meeting so many different people and creating priceless portraits for them and their family.
“people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

She Means Business.
Two women.
Zero apologies.
Behind every successful brand is a face people trust. And trust begins with visibility.
If you’re building something extraordinary… your presence should reflect it.
High-level women don’t hide.
They lead.
DM me if you’re ready for your brand to match your ambition.

You finally stopped waiting for the “perfect time“.
The kids are growing.
The sunsets keep showing up.
In one day, this season will just be… a memory.
This is your reminder to be in the photos.
Not when you lose 10 pounds.
Not when life slows down.
Not “next year“.
Now.
which one are you in right now?
The quote “we need updated photos” stage
The “I’ve been meaning to call” stage
Or the “we’re overdue by 5 years” stage?
Tell me below. I’m curious.

If updating your headshot has been sitting on your to-do list for… Let’s say… A while… This might be why.
it’s not that you don’t care.
It’s that:
You don’t know what to wear.
You think you don’t look good in photos.
Or putting yourself out there feels vulnerable.
Here’s the truth.
Every woman you see confidently showing up online once felt the same way.
The difference?
She decided to step forward anyway.
If you’re ready to be seen in a way that actually feels aligned with who you are now… Let’s talk.

She Means Business: Dr. Maryam Sickinger
when confidence meets compassion, you get someone like Dr. Maryam Sickinger - founder of Advanced Institute of Dermatology here in San Clemente.
From helping patients feel beautiful in their own skin to leading a thriving practice while raising three amazing kids, she truly embodies balance, grace, and success.
It’s been such an honor photographing Maryam in her family over the years - and capturing this next chapter of her story for my She Means Business series
because when women stepped in front of the camera, something powerful happens -- they see themselves the way the rest of the world already does.
Do you know a woman who deserves to be featured next? Tag her below or reach out to learn more about the She Means Business campaign.
There’s something magical about those first weeks - the tiny features, the soft baby breaths, the way their whole body fits right in your hands.
Each image is intentionally crafted - from posing to lighting - to create artwork you’ll treasure forever.
Because these moments are gone in a blink of an eye.
