🦥 This beautiful soul reminded me to slow down and breathe.

Spotted this peaceful sloth in our backyard today, just hanging out literally. In the middle of all the chaos, stress, and hustle, it was the perfect reminder to pause and feel the moment.

Gratitude doesn’t have to be loud. Sometimes it looks like stillness.
Nature always knows what we need to remember.

I had the immense privilege of capturing a truly special moment for a dear friend, Lindsay, as she renewed her vows with Jeff, surrounded by their closest family and cherished friends. It was an incredible honor to be part of such a heartfelt occasion, witnessing the love, joy and enchanting energy that filled the air.

The morning was nothing short of magnificent, with so many wonderful souls gathered in one place. Having only recently come out of semi-photography retirement, I am beyond grateful to have been able to document this unforgettable day for Lindsay, Jeff and their lovely tribe.

There are so many great images to go through but here are a few teasers from that day.

A huge congratulations to Lindsay and Jeff and thank you for sharing and including it with me. What an epic and glorious morning it was! It WAS truly magical.

And a special shoutout to my friend Brad Dean—it was a pleasure to finally work together. Love and hugs to you. His drone shots were amazing.

After moving to Costa Rica 3 years ago, re-opening a B&B in the jungle, starting my jewelry business full time & then opening an art Galeria in Uvita with friends, I think its time to get my feet wet again (literally and figuratively) and possibly start booking a few photography sessions.

I am not going back full time as there are only 24 hours in a day, ;) but I would love to work with some of the locals and do family, wedding, engagement, elopements, headshots, bo***ir, maternity work etc. Whatever you might be looking for, let me know.

I currently wear a lot of hats and I sincerely enjoy the creative journey my life has taken me... and I think it's time to circle back to where I started. If only just a few sessions a month, I think that will make the happiest. Plus I am a blast to work with and you will have some kick arse images afterwords.

I was a photographer first, even went to college for it back in the day AND it will always be my first passion. I am also damn well good at it... this I know. ;)

Lemme know if you want to come and play.

New bookings start May 1, 2024. Packages will be listed soon.
