As an artist, I have always had a deep love for images that have a warmth to them, both visually and emotionally. If I look at my work and it doesn't evoke an emotion, I haven't done my job. My aim is always to capture my clients in any given moment in the most beautiful, flattering way possible, take advantage of good light while supplementing with balanced flash as needed, direct scenes like a movie director would, and let the magic unfold while happily capturing every bit of goodness.

I lean heavily towards a light and airy film look, with a bit of grain + warmth, and I adore a good black + white. I almost always include a color version of these photos as well.

I am based in Oakdale, CA in the Central Valley and YES I do offer travel for an additional fee. We always joke that it's two hours from everywhere: the bay area, the mountains, Yosemite National Park, San Francisco, the Coast. Nothing is out of reach for us.

To officially book with me and lock in your date, I take a non-refundable deposit and the signed contract. Wedding deposits are 30%, Portrait session deposits (Engagement, Family, etc) are 50%. Your date is not secured until the contract is signed and the deposit is received.

Weddings will be delivered within 8 weeks, Portrait sessions will be delivered within 2 weeks.

For Weddings, expect to receive 400+ curated, edited images. For Portrait sessions (60 min), my clients receive 60+ curated, edited images.

Portraits: I definitely understand that winter in Northern CA can be unpredictable with rain and fog. I am always keeping an eye on the forecast and depending on your needs will text you the morning of if I think we need to reschedule. For my more adventurous clients, photos in the rain are an all time favorite and I will NEVER say no. :)

No, and I promise you, you don't need it. My brand is based off the real + beautiful -- moments, people, emotions. Come as you are, let me put you in your best light and allow the generations to come to enjoy what we've created. Small imperfections like a zit will be removed.

Each deposit paid and contract signed is only viable for that date. If you officially book a date (deposit + signed contract) and then cancel, a new deposit + contract will need to be paid/ signed for the date you wish to reschedule on. I require deposits to keep my schedule locked in and therefore best serve ALL my clients, as well as preserve family time. Please understand that if you book and then cancel, that date would likely have been booked by someone else and that is why the deposit is non-refundable.

I do not. My clients hire me to deliver a stunning body of work documenting one of the most beautiful days of their lives. Hours and hours are spent on the other side of that day to perfect + deliver the finished product.
