TOGETHER, LET'S CREATE SOMETHING MAGICAL

I am a mommy, a transformational mentor and healer, and a lifestyle photographer based in San Diego.

Since 2014, I have spent all of my free time learning everything I can about both photography and spirituality. In the process, I have completely transformed my life – from working as a single mom at a full time job that left no room for growth, to following my dreams as a professional photographer, marrying the love of my life, and answering the call to Shamanism. It is now my mission to teach others to do the same.

“You know what feels good to you – follow that.”
