From my early desire to know everything, I have been driven to explore the essence of people, places and critters all the same.
With the exception of hands, fingers and feet, I can’t think of a better tool to use for this than a camera!

Having grown up in beautiful Salzburg, I value tradition but enjoy reinventing it even more. Living in Canada taught me English and the importance of staying true to myself, time spent in Greece taught me about love, slowing down and to appreciate a warm shower. I like board games and anything red, but you'll see my nose curl up over cilantro and celery.

A degree in Education made me realize two things:
Children never fail to amaze me and teaching wasn’t providing me with the kind of creativity I longed for.
I not only moved to Northern California and fell in love with Wine Country, but also followed my dream - I went back to school and became a photographer!

A hint of OCD blessed me with an eye for details, but it was the thought of capturing the candid that first intrigued me about this medium.
I photograph weddings because I believe in love and have a thing for touching speeches and beautiful decor. I photograph people because I admire personalities. I like anticipating and freezing the moment in time and writing your fairy tale with a single image.

Testimonials:

I LOVE THIS SLIDESHOW! So touching, it brought tears to my eyes. It so beautifully captures the spirit of "your" day. 

And the music, which is new to me, is wonderful also.

BRAVO!!! Wonderful!! Congratulations!!
