Viola Jean Photography

Introduction: Photographing meaningful parts of peoples lives, whether their children or their wedding day, is extremely special to me. Learning about the people I photograph and capturing the uniqueness of each family, couple, and individual in front of my lens is what makes me love photography. Finding gorgeous lighting in the rich outdoors of the the California coast, and making lasting imagery of it with human moments as the focus is how I would like to spend my days. Photojournalism, portraiture, and most recently family photography are my favorite creative pursuits. With weddings and couple shoots, my goal is to say something about who you are together and the nature of your love, not simply the beautiful pictures you are sure to recieve. While working as a nanny years ago, I developed a love for photographing children. Their unabashed ability to be themselves in front of the camera makes for very real images that bring me joy while photographing and editing, and it is my goal that they bring parents and grandparents joy for years to come.
