Weddings

Photographing weddings is more than just a job—it’s a privilege. Your wedding day is a once-in-a-lifetime moment filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories. I believe every couple deserves wedding photography that not only documents the details but also captures the essence of their unique love story. From the quiet, emotional moments before you walk down the aisle to the joyful celebration on the dance floor, my goal is to preserve these memories so you can relive them for years to come. One of the reasons I love photographing weddings is the opportunity to create timeless art that reflects your personality and style. I specialize in storytelling through elegant and heartfelt wedding photography that highlights the authentic connections between you, your partner, and your loved ones. Whether it’s a romantic ceremony in wine country, an intimate backyard celebration, or a grand event, I work to capture the emotions and details that make your day uniquely yours.

Families

Photographing families is at the heart of what I love about photography. Family is where life begins and love never ends, and I believe every family deserves portraits that preserve the unique bond they share. From the smallest giggles to the warmest embraces, these moments are fleeting, and my goal is to create timeless images that tell your family’s story for generations to come. One of the reasons I’m passionate about photographing families is the opportunity to celebrate what makes each one special. Every family has its own rhythm, inside jokes, and connections that make their time together unique. Whether it’s a playful session at a favorite park, a cozy gathering at home, or a scenic adventure in the beauty of Sonoma County, I aim to capture the genuine love and joy that define your family.

Seniors

Why I Photograph High School Seniors in Sonoma County: Celebrating Milestones with Timeless Portraits Photographing high school seniors is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work. Senior year is a milestone filled with anticipation, growth, and excitement for the future. I believe every senior deserves photography that not only celebrates their accomplishments but also captures their unique personality and style. These portraits mark the end of one chapter and the beginning of another, and my goal is to create images that seniors and their families will cherish for a lifetime. Living and working in Sonoma County offers a beautiful backdrop for high school senior photography. From the rolling vineyards and scenic parks to quaint downtown spots and golden hills, every location tells a story. I love helping seniors choose locations that resonate with them, whether it’s a place they’ve grown up exploring or somewhere that reflects their future dreams. Sonoma County provides the perfect blend of natural beauty and personal charm, making each session truly unique.

Engagements & Proposals

Why I Photograph Proposals: Capturing the Magic of “Yes” Photographing proposals is one of the most exhilarating and heartfelt experiences in my work. A proposal is the start of a beautiful new chapter, filled with raw emotions and unforgettable joy. I believe every couple deserves proposal photography that captures the magic of the moment when one person asks, “Will you marry me?” and the love of their life says “Yes.” It’s more than just a moment; it’s a memory that deserves to be preserved forever. One of the reasons I love photographing proposals is the element of surprise and the unique story each couple brings. Whether it’s a romantic vineyard proposal in wine country, a private sunset moment on a hillside, or a carefully planned event with family and friends, I specialize in capturing the genuine emotions and excitement that define these special moments. My goal is to create timeless art through elegant and candid proposal photography that tells your story as it unfolds.
