THE BEGINNING OF
EVERYTHING
Some stories begin with a question. Others begin with a feeling you never want to forget.
From surprise proposals along the Malibu coastline to intimate engagement sessions in Santa Barbara and Ventura, I capture the excitement, connection, and beautiful moments that mark the beginning of your forever.
No stiff poses. No forced moments. Just the two of you, exactly as you are.
Whether you're planning a once-in-a-lifetime surprise or celebrating your engagement, my approach is relaxed, intentional, and full of feeling. Timeless imagery that brings you right back to how it all began.
THE BEGINNING OF YOUR FOREVER
Not just how it looked, but how it felt. The anticipation, the laughter, the happy tears, and all the beautiful in-between moments that make your story yours.
every story deserves to be remembered...
The nervous excitement before the question. The laughter that follows. The quiet way you look at each other when you think nobody is watching.
Those are the moments I live to capture.
Whether you're planning a surprise proposal or wandering the coastline for your engagement session, I'll guide you when you need it and step back when the magic unfolds naturally.
Because the photographs you'll treasure most are the ones that feel like you.
THE LITTLE MOMENTS. THE BIG FEELINGS.

You've found your person. Now let's make the moment unforgettable.
From choosing the perfect location to coordinating the timing and keeping the surprise under wraps, I'll help you bring your proposal vision to life.
I'll be discreetly positioned to capture every second — the anticipation, the question, the happy tears, and that incredible moment when they say yes.
Afterward, we'll take our time creating beautiful portraits while you soak in the excitement of being newly engaged.
All you have to do is ask the question. I'll take care of capturing the magic.
THE BIG QUESTION. BEAUTIFULLY CAPTURED.
Forget the pressure of perfect poses. This is about the two of you, exactly as you are.
Before our session, we'll chat about your vision, choose a beautiful location, and plan an experience that feels authentically yours.
Whether we're barefoot on the beach, wandering through the streets of Santa Barbara, or chasing the last light along the Malibu coast, I'll gently guide you while leaving plenty of room for those spontaneous, unscripted moments.
Think of it less as a photoshoot and more as a date night with a photographer tagging along.
COME AS YOU ARE. LET'S MAKE SOME MAGIC
From the first conversation to the final photographs, I'm here to make the entire experience feel effortless.
Planning a surprise proposal? I'll help you choose the perfect location, coordinate the timing, and discreetly capture the moment before stepping in for beautiful portraits together.
Celebrating your engagement? Think of our session as a little adventure — an opportunity to slow down, laugh, explore, and simply enjoy being together.
I'll take care of the photography. You just bring the love.

CAN WE ADD FLOWERS, CHAMPAGNE, OR VIDEO?
You're in good company! Most couples tell me the same thing. My approach is relaxed, natural, and gently guided. I'll give you direction when needed while creating space for genuine laughter, connection, and those beautiful unscripted moments.
WHAT IF WE'RE AWKWARD IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA?
I'm based in Ventura, California, and regularly photograph couples in Santa Barbara, Ojai, Malibu, and throughout Southern California. Destination proposals and engagement sessions are also available, with travel fees quoted when applicable.
