As your photographer we will spend some of the most important times together. I would love to enjoy these moments with you as a friend rather than a stranger. Here's a little bit about me and my story.

Artistic Photographer for LOVERS

Hi there! If you’ve made it this far, it means you’re curious about the person behind Stitch in Time Photography. Well, buckle up, because my journey to this point has been anything but ordinary.

I come from humble beginnings, raised by a single mom who poured everything she had into making a life for us. My family are immigrants who came here chasing the American Dream, and while we didn’t have much, we had determination.

Growing up, things like birthday presents, well-fitting clothes, or even dinner at night weren’t always guaranteed. It wasn’t easy, but it shaped me. Being different from my peers wasn’t always fun, but it forced me to embrace my quirks, my individuality, and all the little things that made me me.

That little girl grew up and lived a life full of twists and turns. I joined the army, married, became a mom to two incredible little humans, and took on the toughest job in the world, being a stay-at-home mom (seriously, nothing compares). I’ve been a plumber (because why not?), navigated the ups and downs of life, and finally remarried an amazing man who loves me for who I am. He encourages me to live freely and unapologetically, chasing whatever sets my soul on fire.

And that’s how I found myself here: your camera wizard, capturing the moments that matter most.

Smile.
Love.
Art.
Repeat.

When I started this business, I wasn’t swimming in cash or riding some cushy wave of privilege. Not even close. I started from scratch, with savings I hustled hard to earn and just enough gear to get my foot in the door. That first camera body and lens? My babies. I treated them like gold because that’s all I had.

But here’s the thing about me: I don’t half-ass anything. Every dollar I earned went right back into the business. I upgraded my gear, invested in business systems to make life easier, and spent countless hours building my portfolio through styled shoots designed to reel in my dream clients.

I hustled hard, second shooting for other photographers, diving into workshops, and learning from anyone who’d share their secrets. I built connections, marketed my ass off, and slowly turned this little business into something I’m proud of.

It hasn’t been easy. There were late nights, early mornings, and more “What the hell am I doing?” moments than I can count. But every ounce of effort has been worth it because now I get to do what I love, freezing time, capturing raw and real moments, and creating photos that people will cherish long after I’m gone. <3
