When my twins were born in 2004 I went from working full-time at UCSF to being a full-time mother. I had always enjoyed photography but the twins inspired me to take more photos. All I had was a little digital Canon point-and-shoot camera. One day I went swimming and forgot I had tucked the camera in my bathing suit bottoms and it was ruined. This was a turning point because I decided it was the perfect time to invest in my first Canon SLR. I officially started my photography business in 2006 after getting an increasing amount of requests for family portraits. Over the years I have photographed families, newborns, weddings, and high school seniors.
