Family photography is where it all started for me and honestly where my heart still lives even now as I have pivoted to a primarily Santa Cruz Wedding and Elopement Photographer.

I was voted Best Family Photographer by Growing Up Santa Cruz magazine and my families come back year after year, which is the kind of thing that means more to me than any award ever could. Watching the same kids grow up through my lens, becoming the photographer a family just trusts, showing up season after season for the chaos and the tenderness and everything in between, that is the whole reason I do this work.

Santa Cruz County is my backyard in the most literal sense and I know it the way only someone who grew up here can. The hidden spots, the light at different times of year, which beaches stay clear when the fog rolls in, where the redwoods open up just enough. We will find somewhere that actually feels like your family.

I also love helping families with the details that make a session feel intentional and cohesive. What to wear, how to coordinate without being too matchy, what colors and textures photograph beautifully in different locations and light. If you want that guidance I am absolutely here for it and if you want to show up in whatever felt right that morning that works too.
