I'm a digital and film wedding and elopement photographer based in Northern California and Lake Tahoe. I grew up a cowgirl in Northern Nevada, with a single mom who taught me to ride before I could walk. My mom shot film too, and her photos are the greatest treasure I have from my childhood, because they transport me back to a time when life was simple, when my mother was young, and I had my favorite horse.
Life is so short, and I believe we only get about 10 big moments in our lives, if we're lucky. Your graduation, moving away from home, your engagement, your wedding, your first baby, your first home. That's already over half of them, they go fast. Photos are priceless because like my mom's film photos, mine will authentically transport you back to the moments you never get to live twice.
Beautiful photos now but even more beautiful in 50 years.
There's no amount of money that can replace a well-made photograph. Like a good watch or a piece of land, it only grows more valuable with time. Whether you're getting married in the foothills outside Redding, eloping in Lake Tahoe, or saying your vows on a working ranch in Northern Nevada, what I create is meant to outlast us both.
