RECENT WORK AND MUSINGS
It’s always a pleasure to photograph other photographers, so I was thrilled when Katrina asked me to capture her third pregnancy in sunny San Diego, California! Katrina is not only a talented photographer but a stylist with a killer wardrobe! This stunning, yet simple, pink gown suited her so well. Hamilton Oaks Winery in San […]
There is something so serene about a simple beauty session in the California desert. A plain silk slip, robe and stunning dress from Katrina’s wardrobe complimented the feel of this intimate and ethereal shoot. The setting was simple and subtle which allowed the focus to remain on the ever so stunning, Olivia. Beauty portraits are […]
Have you ever dreamed of running away to marry the love of your life in the Southern California sun? I have good news for you! YOU CAN, and you can do it with the most amazing team of vendors.
I’ve collaborated with an amazing team of vendors to give away a Romantic Desert Elopement for one lucky couple dreaming of running away to Joshua Tree! The winners will elope on November 12th, 2017 in Pioneertown, CA.
I’m thrilled to share this recent family session with you! I absolutely ADORE family sessions, especially when pinks, neutrals, and muted tones are involved in the wardrobe color palette, and well, Ashley knows my heart! The Strehl Family is one of the sweetest you will come across. I’ve been fortunate enough to have worked with Ashley on a few projects and have really enjoyed being involved in photographing her small military spouse owned business, Jane & Cope (you can find her Etsy shop HERE). We chose to photograph in the beautiful desert because its scenery never disappoints and you could probably say they love it here as this is their second tour at 29 Palms Marine Corps Base.
Vanessa + Alec met in college and haven’t gone a day without speaking to each other ever since! I mean c’mon! Talk about couple’s goals! I could feel their connection at their romantic wind farm engagement session in Palm Springs, California, and it leaves me SO excited to photograph their October wedding in Palm Desert, California!
BEHIND THE LENS
Photographer, chaos coordinator, and professional chapstick hoarder.
I’m the gal behind the camera—part storyteller, part snack holder, part hype girl. I live for the quiet moments in between the big ones: the squeeze-your-hand glances, the wind-blown hair, the teary hugs no one else sees. That’s the good stuff. That’s what I love to photograph.
Rooted in the Lowcountry, where the sea breeze feels like home and the porch is my happy place. Most days, you’ll find me soaking in the salty air in my favorite worn-in jeans and a tee, coffee in hand and chaos nearby. I’m a Jersey girl at heart with a soft spot for Waffle House, country music vibes, and Kane Brown on repeat (like, embarrassingly often).
I’m also a mom to three wild and wonderful humans and two fur babies—which means I’m never bored and I’m always vacuuming. Neutrals and mixed metals are my jam, but pink is my forever favorite. I live for a good gym fit, but it’s mostly for the comfort (zero reps were harmed in the wearing of these leggings). You’ll never catch me without chapstick nearby, and chances are I’m humming some TikTok song that’s been stuck in my head for a week straight.
Oh, and the serious stuff? I’m a proud Marine Corps veteran, pasta enthusiast, canned Coke loyalist, bulldog snuggler, textbook Libra, skincare aisle regular, and self-proclaimed interior-decorating dabbler.
