If you're interested in having me document your memories, you head over to my book me page to inquire about your wedding day, bachelorette or lifestyle session.
because your memories matter
Your wedding season is one of the most meaningful chapters of your story, together as partners. A season filled with so much joy, happy tears and the anticipation of a lifetime filled with adventures together. I know it can feel vulnerable to invite someone new into such an intimate and important day, and I don't take that trust lightly.
I promise to document your story with honesty and intention… creating images that feel authentic to who you are and the love you share. However you define your relationship or choose to identify, your story deserves to be celebrated and remembered for the years to come. It is a true privilege to be considered as the person who gets to preserve this season of your life, and I would be honored to tell your story.

the proposal
During your proposal planning, I will help guide you through locations, permits and details! There are so many factors that will play into your proposal and I know that when you add your nerves into the mix, it can feel overwhelming. Whether we're planning your proposal for somewhere like Catalina Island or somewhere private among the Joshua Trees, I am here to help you create the perfect experience that fits you and your partner best!
the engagement session
It's time to celebrate your love!! Your engagement session is a great way for us to get to know each other, and for you to get more comfortable in front of the camera! Don't be afraid to use locations like your favorite bar in downtown San Diego or your go to record store for your engagement session. Wherever we explore, let's have fun and make it feel like a date night! and I’ll skip the stiff poses, and invite you into moments that feel like you and guide you from there.
the wedding day
Whether you are booking me for a traditional wedding, a quiet elopement, or literally whatever makes you and your partner happy I want you to know, I GOTCHU. The way I document your day is centered around your vision. How do you envision your wedding day feeling? With my background in Journalism, I can step back and capture your day more organically in true documentary style. On the flip side, after documenting 300+ wedding days, I can be there to give you more guided experience and give direction where it’s needed. Either way is the right way if it feels right to you. I'm here to listen to your needs, giving guidance, help rein in the family during portraits, and being present with you throughout all the little chaotic moments to all the overwhelmingly exciting moments.
families, maternity, & more
Whether you're about to graduate, about to welcome a new babe to the family, wanting to document your family in its current stage of life, I am here to tell your story. I want you to look back on these pictures in 5-10 years and feel like you’ve been transported back to that day - can you feel the emotion? Do you remember how your five-year-old wanted to show you every bug under the sun? This is what it's all about. Forget about your kids having their hair in the right place, or even their shoes on... embrace the NOW.
