Bumps & Babies, Kids, Families, Graduates, Professional Years, Adults & Anniversaries
I’ve been capturing weddings, family lifestyle photography and casual portraits for more than a couple decades now working primarily in the Sacramento, Lake Tahoe, Napa, and San Francisco Bay areas, as well as all along the coastlines around San Diego and Coronado and everywhere in between. I’m inspired by outdoor adventures, travel, playful people, live music and amazing light and take advantage of any opportunity to capture raw emotion and natural beauty away from home. Covering all of life’s special events, from birth to graduation, engagement to wedding, 1st anniversary to 50th, I love connecting with my clients and sharing something memorable that will last a lifetime.

Devyn and Aaron
Devyn and Aaron chose to wait until Devyn walked down the aisle to see each other for the first time. Having never met them before until their wedding day, it was in that moment that I saw the love they shared. Devyn’s nerves melted into a big ol YES as they spoke their vows to each other. Devyn and Aaron share an enjoyment for most things outdoors, including hiking, camping and fishing. They chose a summer camp theme for their decor with tables designated by National Parks. The evening took off with some hilarious toasts(and roasts) that led into a
Grace and Nick
I first met Grace and Nick on their engagement session last year as we bopped around to different locations in Apple Hill chasing light and fall color. Not only were they so sweet with each other, but their inherent kindness was felt by me. Lovely, wonderful people. Fast forward a year, and now they are married. They chose the Flower Farm in Loomis for their celebration, one of my favorite venues. Grace went all out with the decor, which included an amazing dining room, brimming in fall colors, a big, lighted LOVE sign and an outdoor living room, all so
Nick and Julie at Camp Lotus
Let me just say, THIS wedding! Right out of the gate, Julie and Nick grabbed at your heart with their joy and kindness, where you instantly felt like you were where you were supposed to be.

Camp Lotus and the South Fork were decked out in lanterns, river-themed seating charts and tables along with their favorite raft, “the shredder”. These two re-found their love for each other while traveling, skiing, camping and rafting after a long time
