I’m all about capturing love and milestones – but every time I looked at typical couples photos or browsed Pinterest or Instagram, I saw a lot of sameness. Same poses. Same lighting. Same detail shots. Don’t get me wrong – we all need a photo our grandma can proudly display on the fridge. But the couples I know are anything but ordinary and I am here for it.
You’ve got incredible aesthetic, you’re bursting with personality, your love story and energy are an entire vibe! You deserve photos that reflect that! That celebrate you and your happy, not just your most perfectly posed and put together moments. The ones that might make your sweet grandma blush but also the ones you’ll look back on and say “that is so us.”
To me, photography is the most beautiful blend of art and connection. It’s so much more than a job, and you are so much more than just another client. Each client is close to my heart, and I can still remember details and moments of every session I’ve had the privilege to capture. For a creative soul, it’s truly a dream come true to share these intimate, milestone moments and turn them into art that you can feel forever.
photos you can feel through the blend of
art and connection.
In the words of Henry David Thoreau, “It’s not about what you look at. It’s what you see.” I believe in photographing those little things you might not even notice that capture your energy as a couple. The in-between moments, glances, eye smiles, and soft touches. There’s nothing more beautiful to me than the pure joy, excitement, and home-like feeling of two people wildly in love.
There’s no need for perfect poses, perfect weather, perfect outfits, or location to capture the perfect memory. It’s about freezing a moment in time - a pause for those photos that allow you to hold onto that feeling in your hands for years.

Frequently
01. where are you based?
I am based out of Southern California but travel anywhere love is! I travel often, so I wouldn’t be surprised if I am in a city near you!
02. Do you offer discounts?
Every year I generate a list of bucket list locations (domestic and international). For any location on my bucket list, I offer FREE photography... all you gotta do is cover my travel! Pretty neat huh? Curious if you are on my bucket list? Reach out!
03. do you provide unedited or raw images??
A common question and in short the answer is no. In my artistic opinion, offering unedited or RAW image files is like providing only partial work, a mere sketch of my final painting. It would be a disservice to my brand, that I have worked so hard at building, to put partial work product out into the world.
04. when do i get my photos?
This truly depends on a few things like: season/time of year, type of event or session and a few other items. However, on average you can expect your online gallery delivered within 4 weeks of your session and 8 weeks of your wedding/event. If there is a need for more time, you would be notified prior.
05. can we choose how our photos are edited?
As an artist, I hold my editing style close to heart. I put a lot of time and dedication into editing within my personal artistic expression, and I do so with each and every photo. With that said, I highly recommend you review my portfolio to ensure my artistic eye is a good fit for your photography needs.
06. do you have insurance?
Yes, I am a licensed LLC with first and third party liability insurance! Additionally, if your venue requires a certificate of insurance (COI) I am happy to provide a copy.
07. how long do I have to download my gallery?
I guarantee your gallery images for 6 months from your delivery date. I highly recommend you download your full gallery when you receive it.
08. what is a retainer and why do you request one?
a retainer is a non-refundable security payment to secure your desired date and time. This ensures your session is officially secured and allows me to dedicate that time exclusively to your event, including planning and preparation. Because I hold that date specifically for you and often turn away other inquiries, the retainer is non-refundable and goes toward your total session investment. This helps keep scheduling fair, organized, and ensures every client receives the time and attention their shoot deserves..
