This modern burgundy wedding at Chabot Space & Science Center in Oakland, California was the perfect mix of playful, personal, and completely unique to the Bay Area.

Pretty Penny is one of those Berkeley shops that instantly makes you smile the second you walk in. It’s colorful, welcoming, and full of personality! I literally can’t visit the store without buying something because they do such an amazing job sourcing unique pieces, and I frequent the space enough that I’ve become friends with […]

Creating brand photos for companies that truly care about what they make is always extra rewarding, and this session was no exception. I had the pleasure of photographing bright lifestyle and product photos for a San Francisco Bay Area based sustainable bamboo shoe company whose mission centers on comfort, style, and reducing their environmental footprint.

I’ve had the honor of photographing Krystaelynne’s headshots multiple times over the past few years. In that time I’ve watched her business, Diggs Publishing, grow exponentially! They became so big that they moved into a large facility and even ended up taking over the one next door! With all that growth came the need for […]

Fairytale Wedding at The Palm Event Center in Pleasanton, California

If you have’t read my breast cancer story yet, let me catch you up. Earlier this year (2025) I was diagnosed with stage 1a triple positive invasive ductal carcinoma (breast cancer) after my first ever screening mammogram at 40 years old. It was shocking, to say the least. Now that I’m half a year into […]

My Chemotherapy Must-Haves and What Helped During Breast Cancer Treatment

In April 2025, after my first screening mammogram following my 40th birthday, I received unexpected news: I had breast cancer. With no family history and the only risk factor being that I’ve never had children, it was certainly shocking and was wasn’t on my radar at all! I had been feeling my best ever after […]
