I have been making art with a camera since forever (est. 2008).
It all started in high school with a boy and a darkroom. Ask me the story, I would love to tell you.

As a wedding photographer, I’ve eaten an impressive amount of cake over the years. I’ve had to become quite selective over time in fact. Not every cake is worth the splurge. So tell me, which baker makes your favorite cake? Why? And definitely tag them in the comments with their best flavor so I can be sure to give them a visit!
My work is not done until you can hold fine art prints in your hand. And later, so can your future family 💕 and cat. #printyourphotos #familygoals #engagementinspiration #destinationweddingphotographer
Truth be told, I haven’t done a lot of networking events in the last few years. This introvert just prefers staying BEHIND the camera! So when I arrived at @laubergedelmar , I was pleasantly surprised to see some familiar faces, and weirdly, felt immediately at home. Thank you @refinedbysuher, you did a great job at creating a lovely event as well as making everyone feel welcome and comfortable. My favorite was reconnecting with @staciebarbarealtor 💕 you’re the bees knees girl.
Getting married soon? Ever wonder what an entire engagement session is like? Come along on @kaelyn.lucas & Ricky’s recent session at the @delcoronado ! Audio ON if you want to overhear my random banter 🤣. 

And a huge kudos to @brooklyncardenas and @thatgoddessglow - wow, amazing hair and makeup! Can’t wait to see you both on the wedding day.
