Lately, I’ve been working with models to get out of my comfort zone and refine my portrait style. I have to say, it’s been awesome! Nicole is the first signed model I’ve ever worked with. It’s always slightly awkward taking photos in public – people always stare. I guess it makes sense – why is […]

Kathleen from was an absolute joy to hang out with! She’s a personal stylist and blogger over at Back Tu Basic. We met at B2 Coffee in the San Pedro Square Market. We met through Instagram – I think I found her while I was stalking different blogger hashtags one day. One thing we talked […]

Had a great time meeting #girlboss Sonia Begonia! In just 30 minutes, we were able to shoot 2 looks – a normal outfit and her July 4th outfit. The shoot was in downtown Mountain View, which I highly recommend for a variety of backdrops and settings. The landscaping is beautiful! Crisp, custom content is the […]

I had the best time hanging out with Kirsty and Kelly around Palo Alto! There are so many beautiful places here, and we only knocked three off my list. Tips for location scouting Plan, plan, plan! Before going on a scouting day, there are a few questions you should answer: Where do you want to […]

W-O-W what an amazingly fun couple they were for my first engagement session in California. Marie and Oliver met in high school and have been together ever since! When Marie first reached out to me, she asked if they could incorporate ice cream into their shoot, and of course I said yes! This is Dolce Spazio […]

This was my first shoot with my new gear, the Nikon D750 and Sigma 35mm 1.4 ART lens! Thanks, 2017 tax return. This shoot with Lucy and Lindsay was so fun and creative. I met Lindsay via Instagram last semester, and I am so glad I did! She brought her friend Lucy to the shoot […]

Adelin’s was the first sunrise session of the semester. Look at this light! Can’t get enough of it. I absolutely loved her Nike shirt for her casual outfit!

Darby’s grad session was so fun! She brought a friend with her to help out with the shoot and make her laugh, and her name was also Darby – Darby squared! What are the odds? We had a variety of stops around campus – Starbucks on Paul Bryant, the Theta house (before it got torn down!), […]

Back at it with the blog posts! LOTS of graduates coming up, and I am so excited to share them! First up is Sidney, who is graduating with a bachelors and masters degree! What a champion. She also brought her best friend Lauren to her session. I love when grads bring friends – we get cute pics, and they […]

Had so much fun with these two (+ my boyfriend as an assistant) at this engagement session in Cullman, AL! I was scouting out locations online, but who would have known that Bennett’s backyard would have so many places – the gate, magnolia wall, and bench swing. Their wedding is in December, and I can’t […]
