where we wore significantly more layers. We recently made the move back to the West Coast and are thrilled to be home! Besides photography, my loves include my dog/son Benny (I’m definitely a crazy dog lady) our new kitten Fettuccini and sushi. Oh, and if there’s ever a photo booth around, you can probably find me in it!

I am a wedding and portrait photographer based out of Santa Barbara, CA but travel all over the world to document authentic love stories. I grew up in Santa Cruz, California, in a large family. As soon as I graduated from high school, I headed down to Santa Barbara to attend the Brooks Institute of Photography. Then I followed my chef husband Cosmo to Chicago, where we wore significantly more layers. We recently made the move back to the West Coast and are thrilled to be home! Besides photography, my loves include my dog/son Benny (I’m definitely a crazy dog lady) our new kitten Fettuccini and sushi. Oh, and if there’s ever a photo booth around, you can probably find me in it!

WHAT I LOVE

ABOUT ME

Since they're sometimes my husband's only day off (that's the life of a chef!), we lay around with our dog Benny, go for a long walk (when it's not snowing), and then have a little date night.

LAZY sundays

I love popping a bottle with friends to celebrate ... or just on a Tuesday!

ALL THE Champagne

My husband has turned me into a shoe fanatic - from stilettos to sneakers, I don't think I'll ever have enough.

Shoes, SHOEs, shoes

Exploring the country and the world is so important to me; we go on at least one international trip a year (Mexico, Japan, and Italy were a few of our recent faves!). But my favorite thing is traveling to document love stories. I've got my passport; let's go!!

WORLD travel

My dream is to one day live on a huge plot of land and rescue all kinds of animals, from cats and dogs, to cows, pigs, and more dogs.

PRETTY MUCH ALL Animals
