I waited tables at Sea World's Harborside Cafe (no longer there) during college summers in my hometown, San Diego.
Our family went sky diving in Hawaii to celebrate a daughter's high school graduation!
Craziest scuba dive experience was in the Bahamas on a shark feed! We sat on the bottom of the ocean with friends & watched in amazement!

"I absolutely loved working with Wendy—what an amazing experience! I really appreciated the suggestions she gave us before the photoshoot, from clothing tips to directions on how to find her at the location. Communication was excellent throughout, and I have to mention—the photos were absolutely gorgeous!"

For over 25 years, I’ve been a teacher, preschool owner, and blessed mama of 5. As my own children grew, I found myself reaching for my camera to freeze all the precious fleeting stages! What began as a way to capture my family’s story naturally grew into a love for photographing others.
Years in the classroom and motherhood have given me patience and a joyful, easy way of connecting with children, teens, and adults alike. I create a welcoming, natural space where you can simply be yourself. When you feel comfortable, your most genuine moments shine!
I’ve walked through many of the milestones I now have the honor of capturing — a growing family, an eight-year-old’s baptism. a senior graduating and stepping into a new chapter, a missionary bravely leaving home.
I come to every session with thoughtful poses and fun, natural prompts to keep things flowing. My greatest hope is that you treasure your images & feel genuinely celebrated!
