It is a privilege to preserve stories with care, reverence and joy.
—
I’m a born and raised Cali girl, with 10 years of experience behind my own camera. Growing up, I became passionate with all things media. I was gifted a laptop at 12 years old, and that changed the course of my entire life. From teaching myself how to edit my own little “movie” trailers, to always nagging my uncle or family to borrow their phones so I could film something, to finally getting my own camera at around 15 years old. I fell in love with photography and never looked back!
By the time 2019 rolled around, I started helping out my parish by capturing photos for events, and eventually started growing in experience and building my portfolio little by little.
The art of photography is something I never realized how life changing something can be. For example, by having had the honor of photographing the Holy Mass on more than one occasion, I have grown in deeper reverence and in deeper love during the moment of Consecration. It has helped me realize just what a heavy, powerful and truly heavenly moment is really is. Witnessing and documenting such sacred moments transformed the way I see beauty, stillness, and grace.
Capturing sacred memories from different seasons of life, is something I cherish deeply. To be entrusted with life’s most meaningful milestones big and small such as — weddings, engagements, family seasons, graduations, and faith-filled celebrations — is a blessing I do not take lightly.
At the heart of this work is something even more personal — my marriage to Joseph!
Flower of Hope Photography is not just a business I operate, but something my husband and I steward together with Christ at the center.
My husband gracefully and patiently serves alongside me, assisting with many things such as equipment, logistics, and the many unseen details that allow a wedding day / photo session to unfold with peace and ease.
His steady, protective presence allows me to focus fully on capturing the sacred and joyful moments entrusted to us. As a married couple ourselves, we understand the beauty and responsibility of the vows you are making. It is an honor for us to witness and serve that covenant.
Our Mission:
To capture the moments of joy and milestones that we have the blessing of experiencing in this life, as we are all in this journey to Heaven together. Life is not always easy, but to be able to look back at life’s most precious moments that bring a smile to our face- THAT is what makes it worth it. If you are looking for photography that feels timeless and intentional, feel free to connect with us ♡ ︎
A Glimpse Beyond the Lens:
My Catholic faith and my relationship with God is the foundation of my life, the most important thing to me.
Time with my husband is my greatest joy — whether we’re exploring new towns, singing in the car, or praying side by side.
I am naturally quiet and observant, but those closest to me know I can be joyfully goofy and adventurous!
I have always been a story teller at heart, even as a young child.
Before every wedding or session, we pause to pray for the people we are about to serve. Not only that, but those individuals become a part of our life long prayer intentions.
