Watched the met gala last night and I’m feeling inspired to share a bit more about how I got here — before photography, there was the beginning of my very passionate career in the realm of fashion.

In high school, I applied for the opportunity to design a dress worn Teen VoguedelO'Neill Women's with + for the Generation Next fashion show in San Francisco—something entirely my own. The inspiration given to me was straight out of the 70’s. I really thought that this was the path I’d follow.

But that design eye and all that I learned never left—it just evolved.

I started documenting my friends more consistently as they stepped into modeling. Working with brands + clothing companies, and eventually took the leap into second shooting my first wedding… and everything clicked.

The intention, the event curation, the way people express themselves through what they wear, how they move, how they love—it feels so aligned + full circle.

So while candid and documentary moments will always be a part of how I shoot, I’ll also guide you into those more editorial, iconic moments—because fashion is art, and so is photography. Promoting and posing plays a role into how I communicate with you as the subject.

And weddings… are where it all comes together. There’s so much more to the story, but I feel sharing this insight helps my clients understand that when working together, there is a thoughtful balance between the kismet and the curated. I’m supporting you every step of the way.

Please excuse the photo quality, they are high quality memories and it was 2012 after all.

I have really been working on finding words to express how much this career means to me & fills my cup 🫀

It’s not often you get the opportunity to photograph a weekend like this — so you share it every opportunity you can :)

Traveling the world & shooting film … a few of my favorite things.

If you told me ten years ago that I would still be living here… I probably definitely would have believed you 🤣💓

What I am most proud of (and will always feel surreal) is all of the epic humans I’ve met, loved, and stories I have documented along the way with big blue as home base.

The goal? Documenting your joy. 🖤

The night before ✨

I love offering evening-before / rehearsal coverage because it allows me to tell the full story of your weekend.

Where are you hosting your welcome party?

It gives me time to get to know your key people, understand the dynamics, and integrate naturally with your crew so everything feels easy and familiar by the wedding day. That familiarity always translates into a better connection, therefore better photos.

And !!! you get more photos in that celebratory space with your people — the embraces, the reunions, and the anticipation. 🩷🥹

Stephanie & Dave — a lakeside ceremony at Sand Harbor, surrounded by friends on shore and paddle boards, followed by a reception under the trees at Aspen Grove. A quintessential Tahoe day for these two who spend so much of their lives on the water. 🤍
