A little wind in their hair, golden sunlight spilling across the coast, birds flying overhead, and the two of them soaking it all in.

These two were here on their honeymoon, and gosh, what a beautiful way to remember it. Just the two of them, wandering the coast, laughing, cuddling up when the wind picked up, and letting this little adventure unfold naturally.

These are the sessions I absolutely love. The ones that feel less like posing for photos and more like remembering exactly what it felt like to be there together.

If you’re planning a honeymoon, anniversary, engagement, or just a little coastal adventure with your favorite person, I would love to photograph it for you. Brookings and the Southern Oregon Coast are pretty hard to beat. 🤍

Back to School Mini Sessions are ready to BOOK NOW! 🍎📸

You have two options to chose from. Both are totally free to book, and then you purchase whatever images you love AFTER you get to see them and pick your favorites. 🥰 (you can see more pricing info when you click the link)

Each session is 5 minutes long ⏰, which means if you have multiple kids, then you'll need to book one slot for each child. If you want a sibling shot also, then please book another time slot for that as well.

Surprise proposals are some of my absolute favorite moments to photograph.

What started as a surprise proposal turned into an entire little chapter of their story. An engagement session, a maternity session, and the sweetest celebration of everything they’re becoming together.

There’s something so beautiful about photographing people in the in-between moments. When one season is ending, another is beginning, and they’re standing right in the middle of it all.

These are the moments I want to remember forever. The kind that feel a little cinematic and completely you.

I’ll never get tired of helping couples turn their biggest life moments into photographs they can hold onto. ✨

Planning a proposal, engagement, maternity session, or all of the above? I’d love to tell your story.

The kind of family photos that feel like you.🤎

Bare feet. Little sticky fingers to hold. Laughter that doesn’t need to be posed. A little exploring through the redwoods, a lot of love, and all the in-between moments that you’ll want to remember exactly as they were.

This is why I love photographing families! We don’t need perfect smiles or everyone looking at the camera. We just need you together being YOU.

And if you’ve been thinking about updating your family photos this fall… consider this your sign. The redwoods are waiting, and my fall calendar is officially open.

New families are always welcome, and if you’ve been in front of my camera before, I’d love to see you again. There’s something pretty special about watching your family grow through photographs. 🤎

Wedding albums are my favorite 😍 there’s nothing better than seeing your wedding photos on print and knowing that one day your kids and grandkids will be looking at these photos of you and hearing your story and thinking “my gosh what an adventurous life they lived”
