A Lover’s Guide to Disneyland Photos
It’s no secret I’m a Disney lover. Having worked for the company and inside the parks for many years I try to find myself in this special spot as often as I can. I’ve been manifesting a Disney wedding on property for a bit (hint hint!) but running around the park with these two lovebirds was equally as sweet!
Charleston Couples Session
Charleston is a photographers dream! I had such a great time with Will & Kate, who were celebrating both a wedding anniversary and had a very exciting announcement!
A Griffith Observatory Anniversary Session
If your idea of L.A. is hot, crowded, and hours of misery in traffic, you’d be correct. We knew exactly what we were getting in to on a Saturday evening in May, at the peak of Southern California’s touristy season. Despite that, we just couldn’t stay away from a staple of the city’s history and architecture, the Griffith Observatory.
Engagement Session at the Lafayette Reservoir
A Filoli Engagement Session
During my first consultation call with M & M, this beautiful bride mentioned a Jane Austen aesthetic for the inspiration for their summer wedding. Oh boy did I take that sliver of info and run with it! I mentioned Filoli as being a perfect backdrop for an engagement session that would compliment this theme. If you know me you know I love being here and will find any excuse to come enjoy this property!
South Mountain Sunsets
Nothing beats an Arizona sunset. Whenever I get the opportunity to show friends some of my favorite spots near Phoenix I always take them to the South Mountain! It’s become a wild hotspot in the past couple of years. Grant and I had our own engagement session there in 2016 and we had nearly the whole mountain to ourselves. Despite its well deserved spike in popularity, the spot is still such a treat to photograph.
Ethereal Maternity Session
It is not an easy feat to mentally prepare for your maternity photos. After months of physical, emotional, and hormonal changes it can take a lot of courage to put on a dress and pretend to be who you were seven or eight months ago, but luckily this woman is not shy of a challenge. I could sense she was not quite feeling like herself when we first started chatting (yet she still absolutely ROCKED this session, sheesh!) but something she said at the end of this beautiful sunset truly lodged within my heart and made me so, so proud:
Evan & Giorgia
S&J, Mill Creek
Viktoria & Rajeev
A perfect sunset in San Francisco is a rare and wonderful thing. Viktoria and Rajeev braved the city on a blustery fall day, and we were rewarded with such a breathtaking evening.
Shakespeare Classics
Maddie & Jack
Maddie and Jack’s intimate backyard wedding in the San Francisco Bay Area. Open field ceremony and a sweet picnic styled reception, with an epic bridal party pool jump at the end of the day!
The Rojas Family
What a stunning fall we’ve had! This beautiful family session was nestled right in the middle of the San Francisco Bay Area. The leaves were vibrant, the sun was warm, and we had the most perfect sunshiney glow
Amy & Will
When my childhood friend messaged me he would be proposing to the sweetest gal ever, my first thought was, “When and where?!” I couldn’t miss this!

You have no idea how elated I was when I had this inquiry pop into my email! Two of my very favorite things; proposals and Yosemite National Park. Throw in the cutest couple ever and you have a recipe for the most stunning photoshoot!
Noah & Celeste
Noah & Celeste has the most stunning session in Balboa Park! This is one of my favorite locations in all of California, with its incredible architecture, unique gardens, and stunning sunshine year round. It’s also one of the best locations for midday sessions.
