Tabitha & Andrew recently got together with me for our engagement photos, with this dark & moody Pismo Beach engagement session. I’m so stoked on how these came out and hopefully you can see why! We started at the Pismo Beach Butterfly Grove and took a nice little stroll through some beautiful bridges & beach...
Ahh, nothing like a Los Osos Couples Portrait Session ~ it is my hometown, after all! Which also means that I know pretty beautiful locations to capture couples portraits at, such as Montana de Oro State Park & Sweet Springs Nature Preserve. But you didn’t hear that from me… 😉
Rozy brought fierce vibes to her Montana de Oro Senior Portrait Session with vibrant red attire and striking Vogue-esque looks. High fashion for sure. Rozy is the daughter of one of my dear friends and we had a grand adventure exploring the natural wonderland that is Montana de Oro. Ahh, we really are spoiled out...
When it comes to dropping the knee, there’s no better plan than a Hammersky Vineyards Surprise Proposal in beautiful Paso Robles, CA. Yuri reached out to me a few weeks before his plan would come to fruition, and so we arranged a stealthy scheme for me to candidly capture his surprise proposal with his partner,...
Madhuri met up with me for some Downtown San Luis Obispo portraits recently! It was so fun to switch things up from my usual natural scenery to something more urban & modern. Forced me to tap into some different creativity and I learned a lot! Side note: I’ve known Madhuri since we were kids but...

Happy engagement season! 🥰
I love getting to connect with couples in this way before their wedding day. Having time to chat, get comfortable in front of the camera and enjoy stunning sunset views…it’s always such a joy getting to capture these moments over a fun adventure together. 😊
Here’s a couple of recent engagement sessions from this winter season so far! Much love everyone. 💕
A little late to the new year’s reflections bandwagon as always, but dude 2024 was absolutely bonkers. I don’t know how I got through it, but I’m proud of myself for once. It’s been a delicate balancing act of keeping my head down, hustling hard & enjoying the fruits of my labor whenever a new achievement unlocked. I’ve long been observant to the cycles of good karma & blessings that manifest when you commit to your healing, learn your lessons, practice good communication + boundaries, feel your feelings, transmute your pain into art & spread love every day. While more subtly noticed when I was younger, these positive ripples are fully realized for me now and I am so grateful to be finally living my best life lately. That’s not to say it’s been an easy year though. Probably the hardest year ever tbh. Duality is wild lol. I worked my booty off everyday, wearing so many hats, capturing 37 weddings (new record!), dozens of airbnbs and other shoots, while putting basically all my free time into a budding music career. I also healed from a brutal two-year flare-up of ulcerative colitis (shout-out @cedarssinai), got off of mind-dulling anxiety medication, got my ADHD under better control after finally getting diagnosed last year & somehow made it out alive in this all-time busy time. There’s no sign of things slowing down either, but I feel confident in my ability to face the challenges that will inevitably come this year. I believe life never throws anything that you can’t overcome until it’s your time to leave this earth. So keep learning your lessons, keep making your art, keep in touch with community, tell your people you love them, tell yourself how loved you are & never ever give up on the ride my friends. The best is yet to come I promise. Love you all. Thank you so much for supporting me all these years. Happy New Year. 😘💕🌈
There’s really nothing quite like the fairytale vibes of @chateaunoland ~ always so happy when I get to work out here. Even better when I have the honor of documenting a beautiful wedding for a sweet, gracious (and fun!) couple like A&J. So stoked on how these turned out, and can’t wait to get the final gallery wrapped up soon! Congrats again 😊💕✨
Grateful for so much lately - too much for me to put into an Instagram post tbh. 😅
But I will say how grateful I am to K&C for inviting me to capture their sweet elopement on 11/11 ✨
We were due for rain all day, but the universe had other plans and blessed us up with the most beautiful winter sunset. Ahhh, moments like these…magic. 😌
Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season filled with beauty and quality time with loved ones. Much love. 💗
Nassim and Ben’s wedding at Ragged Point Inn was pure magic. With the breathtaking Big Sur cliffs and ocean as their backdrop, their day was filled with love, laughter, and beautiful cultural traditions. From the elegant sofreh aghd to the joyous dancing to the gorgeously sunny weather, every moment was wrapped in beauty and the kind of love that rekindles the soul. Here’s to a lifetime as vibrant as the coast that witnessed their vows. 🌊✨🥂 #BigSurWedding #RaggedPointInn #SofrehAghd #PersianWedding #CaliforniaWeddingPhotographer #WeddingTeaser #SLOtography

Tangled up in you… 🌿💕✨
Sweet & mellow newlywed couples session with Ashley & Dylan after they tied the knot in OC the day before! They wanted green colors in their pics and, well, ain’t much green in the wild this time of year so we roamed around the Leaning Pine Arboretum at @calpoly instead. 😍
We connected instantly over our love of raves & dance music and had a lovely little walk thru these beautiful gardens. Gorgeous greenery & good vibes all around. I feel so blessed to have such a fun career where I get to meet such sweet & inspiring people. Congrats again, Ashley & Dylan! 🥰
Sarah & Niels def passed the #slocal vibe check - y’all are a fabulous couple! Thanks for having me! 😎🙌🏻
Such a fun time strolling thru @downtownslo (shout out @fremontslo + @buonatavolaslo + @booboorecords) as we captured couples portraits, before they later commemorated their love with a sweet lil elopement at the SLO Courthouse. We ultimately made our way to @novorestaurant for a lovely dinner party with the fam. I don’t shoot downtown often enough so it was inspiring finding new creative scenes to play with!
Thanks again you two cuties! 💕
