About Me

North of Santa Cruz will always be one of my favorite stretches of coastline. Nothing beats it.

Hey party people! 2025 family photo dates are up. PLEASE don’t wait until the last minute to book your session. You all know I’m a people pleaser and it eats me up over the holidays when I run out of spots for returning families. Don’t do that to me! 😆

These are the best days. Hardest, but also best!

Sweetest little backyard wedding. They had so many loved ones present at their beautiful Santa Cruz mountains home. We had to hike a bit to find a spot!

This reminds me of my girls growing up in the harbor. Such a fun moment.

This girl’s creativity was out of this world. Her vision came to life backed by amazing designers and planners. Definitely one of the most incredible weddings that I’ve photographed.

This guy didn’t give a hoot about family photos and I don’t really mind. His portraits have a nostalgia feel because he was just out exploring and being a kid, not saying cheese the whole time. Maybe he’s the real pro!

My friend and his oldest. Last time I took that little dude’s photo he weighed about 7 lbs!

I think that she was showing us a dandelion fluff. Whatever it was, I love the whimsy of this photo.
