ELOPEMENT/
Post-Wedding
As an elopement and post-wedding photographer, these sessions are where my creativity really comes to life. Couples often travel from different states to work with me here in Humboldt County, drawn to the redwoods, the coastline, and the experience we create together. There’s an enchanting magic in the way elopements unfold—so uniquely intimate, deeply romantic, and wonderfully personal. I am devoted to capturing the heartfelt emotions and genuine joy, telling your love story through photographs that will be cherished for years to come.
We can be intentional—choosing the best locations, scheduling around the perfect light, and creating something that feels unrushed and deeply personal. These shoots allow for more movement, more storytelling, and a more expressive editing style. The images we create are romantic, connection-driven, and documentary in feel—capturing not just how it looked, but how it felt. These are the kinds of images I set out to create.
Elopements start at $2,690 in Humboldt County.
2 hour coverage. Add on hours available.
Del Norte, Trinity & Mendocino County elopements and requires a minimim of three hours of photography plus a flat $1,000 travel fee.

ENGAGEMENT
I believe the most meaningful engagement photos come from genuine connection rather than perfect poses. My approach blends gentle direction with natural movement, playful interaction, and romantic storytelling to create images that feel cinematic, artistic, and effortlessly you. Instead of rigid, traditional portraits, you'll leave with a gallery filled with authentic moments—photographs that capture your relationship as it truly is while creating timeless artwork you'll treasure for years to come.

PORTRAIT/FAMILY/COUPLE
Felling comfortable, relaxed and beautiful in front of the camera is something I aim all my clients to feel. Really understanding your vision and concept for the photo shoot (or helping you create a vision!) is key to some of the most stunning photos you’ll be proud to display for friends and family to see. Together we’ll decide the location, outfit and props and I’ll help you every step of the way!
