WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
I love weddings because each one is unique.
There are so many important elements, and I transition between portraits, photojournalism, and details throughout the day to create well balanced coverage that tells the whole story. I always incorporate natural and organic elements into my photography that will reflect your wedding. I am primarily a natural light photographer, but I also have years of studio experience that allows me to find beautiful light in any situation. Lastly, I will always personally be your main photographer.
Your WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY Experience
My goal is to take the stress out of photography for you. Our photos will be fun, laid back, and meaningful. Best of all, I won’t leave you hanging because I always give flattering directions and come with lot’s of creative ideas for compositions and posing. The biggest compliment I get is when clients say they are surprised by how much fun they have on the session. My style focuses on your unique connection and love, while creating images of you together that you will treasure.
Simple PricinG
My wedding pricing is very simple, choose what you need, not what you don’t. This way, each of my couples receive a custom collection to fit their wedding day. Just start with your hours and add any extras you need like a second photographer, rehearsal dinner coverage, or an album. My style of photography results in a collection of photos that tells your story at this moment, and speaks to your unique beauty and connection. I also offer a engagement sessions, wedding albums, and custom wall art for your home. Get in touch and we will create the perfect collection for your big day!
If you’re waiting for the “perfect” time for family photos… don’t.
The kids won’t always sit still. The outfits might not be perfect. And you will find a fruit snack in someone’s pocket. But years from now, you won’t care about any of that—you’ll just be glad you have the photos.
Seniors, it’s that time! Deadlines for yearbook photos are creeping up (and we all know senior year is packed with events, sports, and college apps). Getting your senior portraits done early means you can check this off your list and have plenty of time to enjoy the process without the last-minute stress.
We kicked off this gorgeous senior session at San Dieguito High School in Encinitas, where we captured all the nostalgia and pride that comes with wrapping up such an important chapter. From the iconic campus spots to a few golden hour shots later on, this session was everything. 💛
If you’re ready to celebrate your hard work and capture this milestone, let’s plan a session that feels 100% you. Whether it’s on your high school campus, the beach, or a spot you love, I’ll make sure you shine! 🌟
No awkward ‘say cheese’ here—just senior portraits that actually feel like you. 🎓✨ Let’s capture this moment, your way. #SeniorPortraits #NoForcedSmiles #classof2025
“One day, you’ll look back and realize… these were the days.” 💛
The newborn phase is a blur—sleepless nights, endless snuggles, tiny fingers wrapped around yours. You’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and somehow the happiest you’ve ever been. I remember it well, and looking back, I know now those were some of the most special days of my life.
That’s why I love in-home newborn sessions. Every family’s story is unique, and capturing those first days—right where life is happening—makes it even more meaningful. This sweet new family welcomed me into their home, and documenting their love for their brand-new baby was pure magic. ✨
P.S. I photograph newborns both in-home and in my Oceanside studio, and I have just one opening left for February and March. If you`re expecting, let’s chat about creating something special for your family. 💕

One minute, you’re rocking a tiny newborn who fits in the crook of your arm, and the next, they’re toddling across the beach with sand-covered toes, grinning like they own the world. How does it go by so fast? Seriously—someone tell me the secret to slowing time down. 😅
I got to photograph this sweet little girl’s newborn session just last year, and now here we are celebrating her first birthday with a dreamy sunset at the beach. Seeing her grow into this happy, curious little person has been so special—it’s one of the best parts of my job, hands down.
Parenthood is such a whirlwind, isn’t it? It’s the late nights, the messy days, and the moments you don’t even realize are special until they’re gone. But it’s also why I love capturing these milestones—because in a world where time doesn’t slow down, photos help us hold onto those tiny details a little longer. 💕
Parents, what’s something your kids do right now that you wish they’d never outgrow? I’d love to hear your answers!
