Happy Valentine’s Day to my best friend & love of my life 🤍

I wouldn’t want to do this life thing with anyone else. Thank you for always being my biggest supporter, for making me laugh even on my darkest days, and for everything you do for our little family. I love you the way the moon loves the stars, Lee—infinitely.

And because the world is so heavy right now, I just want to make one thing crystal clear: my business is an extension of me and it will always be a place of love, acceptance, community, and support. You will always be safe with me no matter who you love, where you’re from, how you identify, what you look like, and everything in between. Together, we will resist through art, connection, action, and love. Together, we will rebuild this country to be a place where everyone doesn’t just feel safe, but is safe. Together, we will get through this.

After all, I personally didn’t beat cancer twice before the age of 30 to fall to fascism.

Manifesting more intimate elopements in my future ✨

J+J hold such a special place in my heart (and I firmly believe their love story is proof of the invisible string.) They love each other so openly and unconditionally, and everything about their intimate Santa Barbara elopement was thoughtful, intentional, and timeless.

It was a joy and an honor to celebrate these cuties and to help them document the love and life they’ve built together. May we all be so lucky to experience a love like theirs 🤍

My 2025 wedding season is officially kicking off next week and I am so excited to be heading back to SB for another gorgeous wedding!! It’s one of my favorite cities in California and truly such a perfect place to get married 🤍

Sharing some photos from J+B’s beautiful wedding at last September! Their wedding took full advantage of SB’s natural beauty and every detail was so thoughtfully centered around their families and their love.

L+L’s Santa Barbara Courthouse elopement was filled with love, support, acceptance, and so much joy!!

Every detail was thoughtful and curated around their love story - they even got matching tattoos after exchanging their vows! Their closest friends and family were present and involved. And their love for each other couldn’t have been more visible or beautiful.

It was truly an honor to be a part of their beautiful day.

This year has obviously not gone the way I planned.

Being diagnosed with Stage 3C Ovarian Cancer in May and losing all of my reproductive organs the day after Mother’s Day has brought more sadness than I have ever known. And now, working full time through chemotherapy is the hardest I’ve ever had to do. Each day is exhausting and filled with what feels like never ending grief - for my loss of motherhood, for my business, and for my sweet couples who I couldn’t be there with on their wedding days.

To say 2024 has left me feeling utterly devastated and defeated would be an understatement.

But this year has also been filled with so much compassion and support and love by those around me. I will forever be grateful to all of my sweet, caring couples who put my health first, sent gifts, offered kind words, and continued to trust I would help them document their special days. THANK YOU. Your kindness and understanding has truly meant the world to me.

And I will forever be in debt to all of my incredibly talented associate shooters who offered their services and made themselves available for me and my couples. I couldn’t get through this wedding season without you all and I hope one day I can repay the kindness and support you all showed me 🤍

So here’s a much deserved shoutout to them. If you’re not following them already, get on it!! They’re all so talented and kind and incredible at what they do.

Thank you all so so much 🤍

A little health update 🤍

Today marks 1 month since my surgery. And I won’t lie - it’s been an emotionally and physically difficult time. We’re trying to adjust to our new normal, but it’s hard. There’s been a lot of grief and anger and asking the universe why.

Every day, my body feels physically a little better. But it’s also strange and unfamiliar now - part of me feels empty, my belly button isn’t my belly button anymore, and I can still feel my organs shifting around. At the risk of being too vulnerable, I’ve included a picture of my surgical scar at the end.

Mentally, some days are better than others. Accepting that my ovaries and uterus are now gone hasn’t been easy. And to be honest, I still don’t think my mind has fully grasped that I can’t have children any more. That I will never know what a little baby Lee and Emma would look like. That I will never get share the things I love with a child that came from me and us. That I will have to wear a hormone patch for the rest of my life. That I will start chemo soon and lose my hair, my eyebrows, my eyelashes.

Everything feels different now. I feel different. And it’s going to take some time - a lot of time - to process and find myself again.

Again, I just want to take a moment to truly thank everyone who has reached out, sent gifts, and offered their homes to us during this time. Your outpouring of love and support has been overwhelming and awe-inspiring and we will forever be grateful to each and every one of you. We love you all so very much.

And for my couples who may be wondering what this means for my business in the coming months, I have good news! My care team has cleared me to start shooting weddings again in July, and I can’t wait to get back behind the lens and do what I love.

If you’re getting married in July and August, you should have received an email from me regarding your Pre-Wedding Questionnaire and Family Formal Checklist. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!

Sending you all so much love and gratitude 🥹🤍✨

The outpouring of love and support has been absolutely overwhelming. I will for ever be grateful for this community that we are a part of 🤍

To everyone who has offered kind words, opened their doors, and been a shoulder to lean on, THANK YOU. We appreciate you all so much and we cannot even begin to express how much it has meant to us.

Now, on a much happier note, I’m headed to my hometown of Petaluma tomorrow to get these cuties married 😍🥳 T-2 days, & !!!!!

Slowly getting back into the grove of things after bringing home a new puppy, moving up north, and turning another year older ✨

Here are a few sneak peeks that I’m absolutely just obsessing over from J+P’s intimate micro-wedding on 4.12.24 🤍 Every detail was thoughtful, beautiful, and so special.
