A little late Halloween post featuring one of my favorite family sessions of the year! 👻🎃

Ghost costumes, pumpkins, books, and a whole lot of laughing. I absolutely loved watching these two just have fun together and letting the session unfold naturally. No stiff poses, no pressure, just a mom and her daughter making memories and being silly together.

More family sessions like this, please!

I truly love all of my clients, but every once in a while, there’s a wedding day I wish I could photograph over and over again. Mariah and Emily’s was definitely one of those days.

From the moment I met these two, I felt so comfortable around them. It honestly felt like we had been friends forever, and spending the day with them was just SO much fun.

We started the day with them getting ready together at Le Petit Pali in Carmel before heading down the Big Sur coast for their ceremony on the cliffs. And I swear I’ve never seen so many HUGE pelicans flying around us as I did that day! It was unreal.

After the ceremony, we pulled off on the side of the road and celebrated in their amazing Sprinter van with wedding cake and ch*****ne. Honestly, does it get any better than that?!

Mariah and Emily, I would relive this day with you two a hundred times over.

Ben + Kate are getting married in TWO WEEKS and I seriously cannot wait!! Their engagement session was so much fun, and if this is any indication of what their wedding day is going to be like, I already know it’s going to be a blast.

And before anyone calls the State Parks Department… those are FAKE candy ci******es, people. 😂

Still catching up on sharing the beautiful love stories I’ve been lucky enough to capture, but I’m so excited to finally share this one! 🤍

Faith and Cris eloped on the cliffs of Big Sur, with the ocean behind them and both sets of parents there to witness their vows. Just the two of them, their favorite people, and an unforgettable backdrop.

This mix of film and digital images captures the intimacy and emotion of their day—exactly what I love about Big Sur elopements. Some days are simply too beautiful to stay hidden in my archives. 🥹✨

So happy to share a little piece of Faith and Cris’s day with you all!

Okay this session was SO much fun. Rosemary had planned to surprise Skyler with a proposal… but then Skyler completely surprised ALL of us by pulling out a ring and proposing right back to Rosemary. I definitely did not see that one coming.

These two were just so much fun to photograph. So much laughing, so much joy, and just the happiest energy the entire time.

And then there were the dragonflies…

I am in Big Sur ALL the time and I seriously never see dragonflies, but that day there were probably 10 of them flying around us pretty much the entire session. I finally said something to Skyler about how weird it was that there were so many around us…

and she casually showed me her DRAGONFLY TATTOO.

Like… what?!

Two surprise proposals, a million laughs, and apparently a bunch of dragonflies that also wanted to be part of the engagement session.

Such a fun night with these two.

This cutie mama is due any day now 🥹🤍

This maternity session felt extra special because she’s not just a client—she’s a close friend who I’ve known forever. I’ve watched her grow up, and now getting to watch her step into this next chapter and become a mama feels pretty surreal.

So happy I got to capture this little moment right before everything changes. Baby Musante, we’re ready for you! 🤍

I’m way too busy to come up with a good caption right now, but these photos were way too good to keep sitting in my camera roll.

So… here they are. They deserved a permanent spot on the grid.

Apparently summer is technically over… but this weather is saying otherwise. So I figured I might as well keep the summer sessions coming!

My friend (who also happens to be an amazing local photographer) asked me to come hang out and capture some family photos at their new home… which casually has the Carmel Valley River running right through their backyard. Like, okayyyy.

We let the kids run around, played in the river, got a little wet, and just documented them doing their thing at home. Such a fun little summer evening and a pretty dang cool place to grow up.

Emily and Brandon’s wedding weekend at Ventana Big Sur was intentionally designed so they could be fully present on their wedding day.

They exchanged vows at Sur Vista with the cliffs disappearing into the clouds behind them before celebrating with family and friends in the Glass House. Instead of squeezing portraits into an already full wedding day, we planned an adventure session two days later. That gave them the freedom to slow down, enjoy every moment with their guests, and then explore Big Sur together without a timeline to follow.

For their portraits, we wandered the coastline, climbed along the cliffs, and ended the evening at the beach—capturing this season of their lives in the place they chose to begin it.

A reminder that your wedding photos don’t have to happen all in one day. Sometimes the best way to experience your wedding is to be fully present for it.
