This is the year of elopements and honestly its been so refreshing for me to just document couples in love getting married against all odds in beautiful places. This couple is the sweetest. Always smiling and putting others first despite all that has gone on this year. While their original Joshua Tree plan and date […]

Back at my favorite place once again, Mendocino Grove. It was 74 degrees, and still sunny at sunset. This is very rare for Mendocino and I was beyond grateful. Loved having these two in front of my camera again. It’s been about a year since the last time and man have they gotten even sweeter […]

Finally got to meet my best friends, best friend. I have heard about how amazing Janet is for years from Alyssa. I felt like we were already friends before we even met so it made this day that much more special for me to document. Janet and David had to re plan their wedding so […]

This session was all kinds of dreamy! We may have had to take some breaks to the freezer and brave being bit by fire ants but man was it ever worth it. From the first second we met I knew we would hit it off and be friends. They are the sweetest and throughout the […]

These two lovebirds are some of my favorite people. It is their one year wedding anniversary in a couple days and man oh to go back to that weekend. I had a newborn baby and shot a dream wedding for a bride who became a good friend of mine. We bonded over our love for […]

This year has been one crazy year for reschedules. This shoot was supposed to happen in May and it was supposed to be a big group shoot on a rooftop with the whole urban vibe. We postponed it until October hoping the world would be better than but of course we are still dealing with […]

Sophie and Walker’s session was a dream come true for me. Not only was it in my favorite city of Mendocino, California but Walker & Sophie are some of the sweetest people I have ever met. I honestly can say this is my favorite Mendocino session yet! We bonded over the love for the early […]

These girls are the sweetest girls and also such beautiful twins! We had our shoot planned on the day of the orange sky so naturally we postponed and they were great sports about it. Thankfully air quality and sky got much better for this day and we were able to go to the beautiful forest […]

Over the years I have helped quite a few brides elope. I understand that planning can be stressful so I offer help to my couples. I offer to help them find an airbnb, florist, spot for ceremony/reception and for some I have even helped with places to find their dresses and what to cook for […]

These people are the best. They are my best friend’s best friends if that makes sense. For years (8 to be exact) I have seen them at my friend Sarah’s parties and we have chatted here and there. I dreamed of the day these two would be in front of my camera but more than […]
