BELTANE RANCH

I read, "Where the Heart Is" my sophomore year of high school and knew I wanted to be a photographer.

That book ignited a passion in me, and suddenly I was seeing the world through a viewfinder. I went on to earn my BA in Fine Arts with an emphasis in Photography from Seattle University before returning home to the Bay Area, where I met and fell in love with my husband, Carl. Together with our cat Bert, we enjoy a quiet life filled with travel, vinyl albums, an overflowing bookcase and trips to the movies.

I have been photographing weddings for over a decade, capturing love stories with emotion, elegance, and authenticity. I am drawn to natural light, soft tones, and the quiet beauty in every moment.

When I’m not behind the camera, you'll find me tending to my houseplants, tap dancing, learning the violin or curled up with a book and a cup of tea. I also love a good Netflix binge. I find inspiration in art, movement, and meaningful connections that make life rich and full.

Why Couples

A CALM AND SUPPORTIVE PRESENCE

Couples love how comfortable and at ease they feel with me. I guide them gently, helping them relax so their personalities and love shine through naturally.

EMOTIONALLY RESONANT STORYTELLING

I capture the joy, intimacy, and unscripted moments that make each wedding unique. My images tell the story of your day in a way that feels authentic and heartfelt.

PROFESSIONALISM FROM START TO FINISH

From planning and communication to the wedding day itself, I am organized, attentive, and reliable. Couples know they can trust me to handle every detail with care.

THOUGHTFUL, PERSONALIZED EXPERIENCE

I listen to what couples want and adapt to their vision. Whether for engagement sessions or weddings, my goal is to make the experience meaningful, seamless, and full of joy.

BEAUTIFUL, TIMELESS IMAGERY

My fine art and documentary approach creates photos that are both refined and true to life. Couples cherish images that are elegant, emotional, and built to last.

INCLUSIVE AND WELCOMING

I celebrate and honor all couples. Every love story is important and deserves to be seen, respected, and photographed with intention and heart.

  • I am terrified of bears but I married a man who loves to camp. 
  • There is a soft spot in my heart for adopting senior cats. 
  • I spend almost every birthday rollerskating. 
  • I think eating cereal for dinner is totally acceptable. 
  • I'm a proud plant mama. 
  • Tap dancing and playing the violin fill my soul.

let's chat

My work is rooted in authenticity, intention, and a deep respect for the stories I am trusted to document. I approach every celebration with care, artistry, and inclusivity, creating imagery that feels true to life and emotionally resonant.

I BELIEVE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY SHOULD BE BOTH AN ART FORM
AND AN ACT OF CONNECTION

What You Might Not Know

Honoring Every Love Story

I welcome and celebrate all couples and believe every love story deserves to be seen, honored, and photographed with intention and heart. I photograph weddings for couples who value emotion, elegance, and authenticity and who want their story told with honesty and artistry.
