In April 2025, after my first screening mammogram following my 40th birthday, I received unexpected news: I had breast cancer.

When I met Melan at an art fair in Oakland, California, I was immediately drawn to not only her colorful and whimsical food paintings, but also her bright personality and bold outfit choices!

I always have the BEST time working with other creative and color-loving souls, so when Kim from KLO events (who designed this killer purple and orange disco wedding) asked me to photograph a styled editorial wedding with her, I jumped at the chance!
