meet your photographer
I'm an intimate wedding, elopement, portrait, and lifestyle photographer based in the San Francisco Bay Area, where I live with my husband, dog, and two cats. Originally from Maryland, I moved to California for my BA and MA at Stanford and have called the Bay Area home for over a decade.
My photography approach focuses on capturing genuine moments with natural direction, ensuring a relaxed and fun experience. I love shooting during sunrises and sunsets, creating soft, warm, and glowy images, and am inspired by film colors and the magic created from those small, happy moments. If you're looking for someone to beautifully capture your special moments, let's connect!

Here for you, however you need.
I genuinely love love and am here to document you as you really are. To do that, I love learning more about you and your love story – what do you like to do for fun together? How do you complement one another? What locations are meaningful to you both? All of your answers help me give you that 100% support in your session that you deserve, meaning dedicated location scouting before each shoot to find the best spots, making sure your hair looks bomb, and ensuring your experience feels fun and magical. I'm always down to collaborate, truly listening to your desires and incorporating as much of "you" into your photos as possible. Let’s laugh, go on an adventure, watch an epic sunset, and commemorate your love. Because your story deserves to be told in every image captured.

and my dog, Daisy, below! :)
