It's time to dream big!

Have you ever dreamed of shooting underwater but felt overwhelmed by the gear, editing, or how to work with clients safely underwater?

I used to feel the same! It took me years to figure out all that I know today. With knowledge from surfing, diving, and my photography business I now have a system that lets me confidently plan, shoot, and deliver breath taking photos that clients LOVE.

Now I want to share everything I’ve learned with easy action steps to help you on your underwater journey. My goal is to help you get those dreamy underwater shots & book premium sessions.

From starbucks to full time photographer

In my early twenties I was working full time at Starbucks. I loved serving people, but I found myself longing for more. I knew if I stayed at Starbucks that I wouldn’t be reaching my full potential. My heart desired to be creative, and take photos. I just didn’t really believe that I could make a living off of it, and that was the problem. I want to tell you that what you believe affects everything you do! The first step to making your dreams a reality is believing that you can! If you can’t imagine yourself being a successful photographer then you probably will never be one! It sounds harsh, but it’s true. Fix your mind and your body will follow! Once I started to believe that I could do it I found myself taking baby steps to making it happen! If you told me in 2020 that just by selling 1 of my photo sessions would make more than I would make in 2 weeks at Starbucks I probably wouldn’t have believed you. Now I am living my dream, doing what I love, and making more money than I would have ever made at Starbucks. If I can do it..so can you!
