“Thank you so much. This was Jake’s first real photo shoot and, I remember vividly, he was not excited about it. By the end of our day, he loved you, how our session was and he was totally warmed up for pictures on the wedding day. Our engagement/wedding photos are our FAVORITE […]

Here’s a preview from Karen & Langston’s engagement session in Incline Village, decked out in style and love.

Nikka & Cody. The classic warning of “we’re kind of rookies at this” and then they totally blow me away like experienced pros. It’s true, in so many sessions, that once you’re in the arms of the one person that makes your heart melt, love just falls into place so effortlessly. Congratulations, you two! So […]

The 2013 Album. Each person that graces the front of my camera becomes part of my family of clients. Whether it’s a quick one-time shoot or a full wedding experience, I get to know so many unique people in what, relatively speaking, is a rather short amount of time. The effect that each and every […]

When we had first chatted about locations, Brandon mentioned his parent’s property having a some great spots to shoot. I had driven by to scout the area beforehand and knew we had to make it work, even though our initial shoot day got rained out. The following week, we met here and while what I […]

It was cozy, comfortable and the place Brandon proposed – it doesn’t get much more meaningful than that. While a thunderstorm brewed around […]

Christine and Patrick love where they live, so they really wanted to capture the neighborhood where they built their life together. I’ll take any reason to visit San Francisco, so I was totally on board with that plan. We spent the afternoon around the blocks that surround their beautiful apartment in Russian Hill.  They stopped for […]

Rachel was the maid of honor at Katelyn & Brian’s wedding last March. She was absolutely stunning and such a beautiful spirit, so when she contacted me when Tom proposed, I was thrilled to get the chance to capture her own wedding day (coming this June!) We met up in Chico and toured around to […]

Meet Zach & Kerri, two high school sweet hearts who will tie the knot this spring in Ventura County. They were planning a trip to Tahoe and wanted to celebrate their engagement at one of their favorite places to spend their vacations.  Sugar Pine Point is one of my favorite sites around the lake, so […]

We spent a gorgeous afternoon walking around Sacramento, where Jamie and Matt had spent a lot of time when they first met. We ended at The Citizen Hotel, where they had booked a hotel room with a balcony that overlooks the city below. A perfect way to end the session and I love how they […]
