WARM, INTENTIONAL, & CLIENT CENTRIC
crafting images
the past 20 years
My journey with photography began in high school, capturing moments on film and carried through the dark rooms of college as I pursued my degree in Human Services.
In 2018, after taking a step back from the mental health field to raise my children, I felt a pull to return to my creative roots
With nearly a decade of wedding experience,
My bespoke approach blends professionalism with an effortless, elevated style. I take the time to understand your vision, ensuring every detail is thoughtfully captured and tailored to you.
I work with a select number of weddings each year, partnering with couples who value presence, timeless beauty, and celebrations that feel effortlessly refined
WHAT PLANNERS SAY

frequently asked questions
+ Do you offer pre wedding event coverage or after?
Absolutely! Your wedding story doesn't need to be confined to one day. There's so many special moments that happen at all the wedding celebrations, some coverage can include bachelorette party, bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, welcome activities, day-after excursions. Whatever your vision is, I can bring it to life.
Available to clients in addition to your wedding package at time of booking or secured later
+ Do you shoot film?
Yes — film is part of my roots and something I love incorporating when it’s requested. I was trained on film and in the darkroom, and that foundation strongly influences my work today. For weddings, I primarily use digital photography because it delivers the highest level of consistency, detail, and archival quality — ensuring your images remain timeless and protected for decades to come.
+ Do you outsource your editing?
Your wedding is too personal to just pass off to someone else to do. I personally go through every image and determine which images will be in your gallery and then I hand edit every image.
+ Where are you located & do you travel?
I am based out of Auburn, Ca. Prices reflect all travel fees for Northern Ca from San Jose to Napa. Any destination beyond will include additional travel fees which will accommodate time, lodging and transportation service fees such as rental car and/or flights
+ Do you do videography or content creation?
No, but I have a list of trusted videographers and content creators who specialize in their craft that I can refer you to
+ When is the final balance due?
Your final balance will be due one month before your reserved date
+ Do you offer albums?
Of Course, I offer complimentary album design. Heirloom albums currently begin at $800 and price can vary based on size, cover selection and final number of spreads. You may order one in your initial collection or many of my clients add on an album a few months after. I am happy to accommodate your oder if and when you decide.
+ Do you offer Bridal Boudoir
Absolutely! It's one of my brides favorite add ons. We can arrange to do this in studio, a location of your choice or depending on your venue can even the morning of your wedding when your hair and make up are already completed. Bridal boudoir starts at $950
