I’m a photographer who specializes in Luxury Elopements and Intimate Weddings, and I’ve got to say, I absolutely LOVE my job! I found my love for photography back in 2013, but since having my first child over seven years ago, my passion for capturing life’s most incredible moments has exploded.
Documenting one of your most memorable and impactful moments in your life is something that I do not take lightly. I’m so grateful to my couples that trust me to come along with them on their special day to be their photographer, emotional support, cheerleader, helping hand, and ultimate elopement day bestie.
When I’m not in photographer mode, I’m a homeschooling mom to two nature-loving little girls. You can usually find me and my family hiking, mountain biking, paddle boarding, doing yoga together, or camping in our trailer. We are currently based in Southern California and frequently travel to the Eastern Sierra Mountains where we used to live. Raising my daughters with a wild and free lifestyle and the utmost respect for Mother Nature is incredibly important to me. They’re pretty rugged little adventurers if you ask me.
In addition to my photography business, I run an outdoorsy motherhood blog. Check it out below!

Rewild mother blog
Focusing on mind, body + soul wellness is extremely important to me. I love getting into a yoga flow to build my strength, both physical and mental. I have also committed to a habit of prioritizing meditation + breathwork throughout my day to allow myself to approach life, motherhood, and running my business with ease and patience.
Yoga, Meditation + Breathwork
If you see a lifted Silverado driving around Ventura County and playing reggae or country music with a mom and two kids singing along, I wouldn't be surprised if it's me and my kids. I lovvve music and going to concerts. Tell me what music you like and I'll play it during our photo sessions!
Music
You can frequently find me geeking out about how insanely COOL the ocean is! I am absolutely mesmerized and inspired by her beauty + power. My kids and I frequently like to spend all day playing at the beach or being surrounded by the ocean in one way or another. I first got into photography when I wanted to work on ocean documentaries and do underwater photography. This dream is currently on hold (because, MomLife) but maybe I'll pick it back up one day.
Scuba diving, paddle boarding, and other ocean activities
I'm very passionate about protecting and preserving nature. Following the Leave No Trace principles is extremely important to me. I also enjoy researching all there is to know about hiking safety + preparedness tips, wilderness first aid, and of course LNT principles. Basically, I want to be the biggest resource and safety guide that I can be to my couples (and I prioritize raising my kids with knowledge, too!)
Leave No Trace
I love a good non-fiction book about spirituality, mental health, peaceful parenting + homeschooling, or something super motivational

Along with photographing + adventuring, I love:
