A love that feels calm, joyful, and deeply connected. 💛

Tip for couples: choose a photographer whose presence makes you feel at ease; it shows in every photo. 📸

As an animal lover, taking pictures on this farm was so much fun! 🤩 Cats, dogs, horses, peacocks, chickens.. You name it! Your photos don’t have to look like the same cookie cutter images seen on Pinterest.. They’re supposed to be a reflection of you! Highlighting your interests, passions and what makes you YOU helps tell your own unique story. 📸

Even though this location is always so crowded, I love being able to have a mini redwood forest so close to Sacramento. 👏🏼

I just wrapped up my first semester back at Sac State (after a 9 year hiatus) and took one of the coolest classes ever which was a Women & Gender Studies class about Gender & Health. Our self care unit was a highlight of the class and the center of our midterm. I had to choose something to do for 14 consecutive days that I deemed as self care. Being a photographer, I chose to take self portraits of myself. I wanted to make time for creativity/expression despite taking 15 units, working a 9-5, having a social life and still running my photo business. This blog is a tiny recap of some things I learned in the process. 😊

Scroll to the end to see some of the self portraits I took throughout the 14 day project. ❤️

Imagine this… You and your partner are hand in hand, filled with adrenaline and enjoying one of the best days of your life. You’ve successfully said your “I Do’s” without passing out from anxiety, all of your guests are having a great time, and you can finally I indulge in some hors d’oeuvres and drinks. After taking the most beautiful wedding photos that you’ve ever seen, you get to party all night with your favorite people, and eat all of the dessert that your heart desires (without judgement). A seamless wedding day like this (well, as seamless as possible) is only possible with a fantastic vendor team. From your wedding planner to your photographer, having reliable and professional vendors on your side will make all of the difference.

✨That’s where I come in!✨

With me as your wedding photographer, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that I’m equipped with plenty of experience to ensure your precious moments are captured authentically. From helping to create your wedding photography timeline to giving pose suggestions on your wedding day, I am with you every step of the way. Not only am I your photographer, but I am a wedding resource for any question you may have, I’m a listening ear when the day feels too overwhelming, and I’m even your dance partner if you want to get a little crazy on the dance floor.

No matter what happens throughout your wedding journey, I am with you from the very beginning. ❤️
