The name Cactus to Coast comes from my upbringing in a small town in Arizona. When I became a young adult I decided to leave behind the resilient cacti and embraced the vibrant views of the coast. Moving from Az to Nc, and then finally settling in Hawaii in 2020. My inspiration to capture lifestyle photography is my own family. My husband and I have three young children that we choose to homeschool so our active lifestyle would not change. Now I get to capture other peoples' family photos doing what they love most, the same way I would want my life captured.
