a peek into my world

I’ve called Northern California + San Francisco home for almost a decade now, but grew up in beautiful Central Oregon, which has really inspired my love for adventuring.

I love spending time outdoors - hiking, biking + camping, or often just soaking up the sun on
a blanket.

I've shared my life with my amazing partner Jenna + our sweet kitty, Jingles, for the past 7.5 years.

aka. the details you didn't ask for... 

I strongly believe a good concert is pure magic!! 

I mostly use film to document my own life: 98% of these photos are 35mm film, taken on my trusty Canon EOS Rebel that I "borrowed" from my mom when I was 16.

Yes, I do perpetuate the WLW stereotype that I am OBSESSED with my girlfriend and cat - but c'mon they are toooooo cute not to be!! 

But trust that I will be enjoying it from a bit farther back, where there’s plenty of room to dance and groove without getting squished.

I'm definitely solar powered!

I find that documenting my life on film makes the images feel so much more intentional and meaningful. Even if they aren't perfect, I end up cherishing the photos and memories so much more than the ones I take on my phone—which is why I love offering film images in my packages!

I'm low-key a sparkling water fiend (yes, I do have opinions on brands) 

I'm newly OBSESSED with queer, country western line dancing! 

You'll find me at Stud Country on Wednesday nights despite only knowing like 5 dances at the moment. I was a dancer (ballet) growing up, so it's been really fun to be dancing in some respect again! 

So why am I sharing all of this with you?

I'm an auntie to 4 cutie little nieces, whom I adore! 

...Because photography is such an intimate thing, and I want you to actually feel comfortable with, and connected to the person (hopefully me!) capturing your most special moments!

It’s not just about pretty photos—it’s about connection, trust, and making sure you feel seen. I love getting to know my clients on a deeper level, so by the time your day comes, it feels like we’re just old friends adventuring together.

I’d call myself an extroverted introvert, which is probably why elopements feel so natural to me. I love meaningful one-on-one connections and find so much joy in getting to know my clients without the excitement (and chaos!) of a big crowd.

There’s something about the quiet, unhurried nature of an elopement that just feels right to me—intentional, authentic, and focused on what truly matters. I’m drawn to deep connections and the in-between moments: the deep breaths before your vows, the easy laughter on a trail, the way you just are together when no one else is watching. Stepping away from the noise, stripping everything down, and being fully present—that’s where the real magic happens, and it’s why I love doing what I do.

I'm always down for a good game
night!

This Gilbert Softlite lamp I found at the Oakland Vintage Market is one of my prized possessions.
