A quiet place to scroll and get inspired for your upcoming wedding, my blog is inviting and inclusive. My goal for anything in this industry is to be affirming of all couples and people in love. As a queer trans person whose been photographing weddings of all varieties for ten years now, you'll notice I have a cinematic approach to photography. Loren does as well. You'll see some of their images from a few weddings this last year, they flew out from Seattle to work with me this last October.

We have things to show you!

These two made my heart sink into my chest so hard. I was all smiles when capturing this beautiful Garfield Conservatory proposal. Taylor had already proposed to Michelle when Michelle came up with the idea to do her own proposal. She decided the Garfield Park Conservatory would be the perfect backdrop.

As for the rest of this short but sweet photo session we used the existing light around their apartment. I had the pose naturally in door frames, […]

San Diego’s Torrey Pines gives you this washed up on a beach like a mermaid feeling. The air smells salty, the breeze is long and cool. I can see why the locals took me there for their family portrait session. The world of San Diego is filled with sea side beauty. I loved spending time […]

I met Gia through Dana. Dana kindly asked Gia to share her apartment for her session so I did one with Gia as a thank you! We all had SO much fun. We chatted about everything from boudoir photography to mental health care. Gia works as a therapist so we bonded over that as I […]
