Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.

This lovely family was referred to me from my bff, Jen with Day of Love ! They are seriously the sweetest family! Brooke’s parents live near me and I run in to them often! Plus they are my go to amazing tire shop 😉
Brooke and Eron have the cutest twins who were such a joy all day! We had the most perfect golden light all day. This was my first time shooting at Wedgewood in Menifee Lakes and it was a great hidden gem!

I don’t photograph styled shoots very often but when I had the opportunity to do so at a brand new venue with some of my very favorite vendors – I jumped at the chance!
AnneMarie worked so hard to put together this whimsical butterfly inspired shoot overlooking the Carlsbad Lagoon. All the vendors came together and contributed their talents to make this shoot successful! Make sure to scroll all the way down to view who was involved!

Ahhh I’m so excited to share this special day with you! Jillian + Shaun moved to Kern River to work for the brewery in town and opted to have their wedding close to home. It was my first time in that area and it is just breathtaking. It was a day full of craft beer, river passer-bys, lots of laughs and some sweet dance moves. What was extra cool is that this was the first wedding held at the brewery! Yay for being trailblazers!

An adorable couple + the perfect NYC elopement? Yes please!! I had such a blast walking ALL over Central Park with these two newlyweds! There was a sweet and sentimental ceremony in the park surrounded by loved ones. And photos near their downtown apartment before and after. Later that evening a larger gathering including their friend groups! I just love shooting in new areas – it’s so inspiring! Thank you Helen + Andrew for flying me out to the East Coast and sharing such a personal day! xo
It was a bright and windy day on the cliffs overlooking the Pt Loma Lighthouse. The spring flowers were blooming and laughter was abundant. Mary and Geoff traveled from the East Coast to say the I Do’s in front of close family and friends. The evening ended in champagne toasts and amazing views of San Diego. Congrats to these two – they just welcomed a new member to the family recently! <3
