I am a wife and mom of two great boys, Michael (11) and Maddox (6). I live and work in Manhattan Beach, CA. I grew up in Colorado. Graduated from the University of Colorado with majors in Math and Spanish. I love to travel and have lived abroad in Spain, Argentina, and Mexico. I am bi-lingual in English and Spanish and have a passion for Latin culture and all things BTS :). After a career working in the television and media industry, I am now enjoying being a mom and photographer. This allows me the time I need to be fully engaged with my family and my community.
My love for photography started just with a personal desire to capture my favorite moments for my family and friends. I truly enjoy taking pictures and in particular trying to capture those unique candid life moments that will live forever.
I hope to work with you in the near future.
Sincerely,
Gretchen
