Welcome!
I’m Missy
Your go-to Photographer
I am a lifestyle photographer, specializing in families and kids, and am based in Hermosa Beach, California.
I love taking pictures of peopleâŚof personalities, of love, of relationships, of connections, of giggles and of real life. Sometimes beauty takes on a bit of messiness, but in the end, you will be able to see the real and authentic love that you and your people have for one another. And thatâŚis what matters.
Capturing the real moments, genuine connections, and the joy in every story.
Behind the Lens
How it all started
The older I get, the more I realize what truly matters. A perfectly decorated house, fashion, or a spotless car? Not so much. But time with family, laughter with friends, and the little moments that make up our livesâthose are everything.
That perspective naturally shaped the way I approach photography. What matters most to me is capturing people as they truly areâtheir connections, their personalities, and the real moments they share together. The laughter, the quiet glances, the unexpected joy. Those are the memories worth holding onto.
One of my favorite parts of this work is when clients see their photos for the first timeâthe ooohs, the aaahs, the gasps, and sometimes even a few happy tears. Those reactions mean everything to me.
Outside of photography, Iâm a mom to two college-age daughters. Being a mom deepened my love for photography because I know firsthand how quickly life moves. Photographs have the power to bring us right back to those momentsâand thatâs why what I do matters so much to me.
