I am an elopement, wedding, portrait, and lifestyle photographer based in San Francisco. I live with my husband, dog (Daisy), and cats (Cleo and Kiki). Born and raised in Maryland, I moved to California for my BA and MA degrees at Stanford University, and I've been living in the San Francisco Bay Area ever since!
I believe that the best photos come from the small, sweet moments, so my approach to photography focuses on more genuine moments with natural direction rather than photos that are overly posed.
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!

My Philosophy
I believe that true beauty is found in authenticity, not in rigid poses or picture-perfect scenes. That’s why I focus on guiding you gently when needed, but mostly letting you be yourselves. I’ll step in to offer direction that feels natural and effortless, and then step back to give you space to breathe, connect, and celebrate. My approach is all about balance: being present enough to help you feel comfortable, but never intrusive.
"I have never worked with a more talented photographer."

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.
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.
It's the little things that you'll remember.
