I am there for every moment, and I mean all of them. The mundane ones nobody planned, and the ones you worked really hard to make beautiful. The perfect portrait where you look like you walked out of a film. And the one right after, where you're laughing at something nobody else heard and you look completely, totally yourself.
I'm based between Redding, California and Reno, Nevada, and I grew up out here on working land, around horses, in a life I now get to photograph every day (which still feels a little unreal, honestly). I shoot film and digital because I want your photos to have weight to them. Something that holds up. Something that feels just as much like you in thirty years as it does the morning after.
I'm not just here to take good photos. I'm here to make sure you can go back and revisit your real memories anytime you feel the blissful and sometimes painful sting of nostalgia.
The best moments never happen on cue. I believe they happen when you stop managing how everything looks and just come back to the people in front of you. I create space for that on purpose and make you look really, really good while you live authentically in your moments. You'll have portraits that feel elevated and intentional, and you'll have the ones where you forgot I was even there.
Your massive smile across the room when something went perfect. Your mom or dad's face during the vows. The last time all of you were in the same room together. Nobody planned those moments. They just happened, fast and quiet, and then they were gone.
Unless someone was paying attention.
Whether you're getting married in the foothills outside Redding, eloping at Lake Tahoe, or saying your vows on your working ranch in Nevada. I'll make you look incredible, and I'll make sure you don't forget how it felt.
