Elopement Package
I’m more than just someone who shows up with a camera. As a Big Sur elopement and wedding photographer, I help you shape a day that feels intentional, relaxed, and true to who you are — from the early planning stages to the final moments.
Before your elopement or wedding, I’ll help with location ideas, timing, and flow so everything feels natural. On the day itself, I’m fully present, documenting real moments as they unfold. My goal is to create film-inspired, documentary-style images that don’t just show what your day looked like, but bring back how it felt — the nerves, the laughter, and the quiet in-between moments.
When you look through your photos, you won’t just remember the day. You’ll feel like you’re right back in it.

Engagement Package
I’m the kind of Big Sur photographer who shows up excited to hang out, not just “do a session.” I care a lot about the people I photograph and even more about making sure the experience feels easy, fun, and memorable — the kind of day you walk away from saying, that was actually really enjoyable.
I’m here for the couples and families who love being outside, don’t take themselves too seriously, and want photos that feel like real life. Think walking coastal trails, laughing mid-sentence, letting the wind do its thing, and not worrying about what your hands are doing. We’ll explore, talk, move around, and let moments happen naturally — Big Sur does most of the heavy lifting anyway.
What matters most to me is telling your story in a way that feels honest and personal. Not stiff poses or forced smiles, but photos that bring you right back — to the sound of the ocean, the inside jokes, and the feeling of being there together. The goal isn’t just beautiful images (though you’ll absolutely get those). It’s memories you’ll want to come back to, with someone who felt more like a friend than a vendor.

Couples Package
Couples sessions with me are less about posing and more about spending time together somewhere beautiful. Think of it as a walk, a conversation, and a little adventure — with a camera along for the ride. As a Big Sur couples photographer, I love working with people who are comfortable being themselves, love the outdoors, and don’t need instructions every two seconds.
We’ll move, talk, laugh, and let things unfold naturally. You don’t need to know what to do or how to stand — that’s my job. Big Sur gives us the scenery, you bring the connection, and I’ll take care of documenting it in a way that feels honest and easy.
My goal with every couples session is to create photos that feel like you on a really good day. Not stiff or overly curated — just real moments, inside jokes, quiet pauses, and the kind of images that feel more like memories than portraits. By the end, it should feel less like a photoshoot and more like time well spent together.

Family Package
Family sessions with me are relaxed, low-pressure, and built around letting kids be kids (and parents breathe a little). As a Big Sur family photographer, I focus on creating space for real moments — the hand-holding, the belly laughs, the snack breaks, and the in-between stuff that actually tells your story.
There’s no expectation for perfect behavior or everyone looking at the camera at the same time. We’ll walk, explore, and let things unfold naturally while I document the connection you already have. Monterey Peninsula gives us room to move, fresh air, and beautiful light — which makes everything feel easier for everyone.
My goal isn’t posed family portraits you feel like you have to frame immediately (though you absolutely can). It’s photos that feel like memories — the way your kids laugh right now, the way they fit in your arms, the season of life you’re in, exactly as it is. By the end, it should feel less like a photoshoot and more like a really good family outing.

Maternity Package
Maternity sessions with me are calm, unrushed, and centered around you. As a Big Sur and beyond maternity photographer, I love creating space for this season — the excitement, the quiet anticipation, and everything in between. No stiff posing, no pressure to perform. Just fresh air, beautiful light, and time to slow down.
We’ll move gently, talk, take breaks when you need them, and let moments unfold naturally. Whether it’s just you, you and your partner, or your growing family, the focus is on connection and comfort. Big Sur gives us the perfect backdrop — open space, ocean air, and a sense of grounding that fits this chapter so well.
My goal isn’t overly styled maternity photos that feel like a production. It’s images that feel peaceful, honest, and true to you — photos that capture how this season felt, not just how it looked. The kind you’ll look back on and remember exactly where you were, in every sense.
