Wedding days end, newborns become toddlers, and parents become grandparents. These moments go by so fast. You deserve to live fully in them,  to be present, and then relive them through imagery that tells your story. Photography is more than just a picture, it’s a way to document your history. These are the good old days. Let me help you remember them.

For the past eight years, I’ve been documenting stories across California. Capturing weddings, growing families, and everything in between. My approach is candid, joyful, and inspired by people + connection. I believe everyone deserves to be photographed and my job is to help you feel seen, celebrated, and totally like yourself in front of the camera.


I create art that’s soaked in sunlight, filled with color, & feels like a damn good time.

about me

I want this to be as easy and stress-free as possible. As someone who’s been the bride and the new mom, I know how meaningful these moments are. I keep communication open, the vibes low-key, and the focus on creating beautiful photos that truly feel like you. If this resonates with you I'd love to work with you.
