Thanks for stopping by. I asked my kids, the people who know me best, to write a little about me.

"Jonya is 16. Or 18. Or maybe 80. She likes to tell stories and sing songs. She liked collecting rocks when she was small and almost never had candy so she played at the beach and colored. I like the choices she chooses for clothes and she looks like she is from California. Because she has lots of freckles and shiny teeth."

I live and create in Portland, Oregon. I am from California and have a B.A. in art history from San Diego State University. I started taking photos in the mid 90’s of punk rock bands and now I focus on families and businesses to add a unique perspective of someone who has gone from punk rocker to suburban mama bear with an unconventional vibe. I combine my love of textiles, texture and architecture to each project and appreciate the collaborative process that unfolds with each client’s unique story to tell visually.

I shoot film and digital and work with you each step of the way to personalize your experience.
