Erika + Mike: In Home Riverside Couple's Session

AN IN HOME PODCAST COUPLE’S SESSION

Erika and Mike wanted some updated photos in their temporary Riverside home & since they have a podcast, we focused a little on those shots. They needed an updated cover for their podcast plus some lifestyle shots for Erika, which turned out so cute and fun! Pro trip: make those photos feel like YOU! The whole point of an engagement or couple’s session is to make it feel like you, so if you’re homebodies, let’s take photos in your home. If you hike a lot, let’s go hike at one of your favorite trails! Erika and Mike truly made this shoot feel like them, which made for even better photos!!

Diem + Khang: Sturtevant Falls Engagement Session

A LOS ANGELES MOUNTAIN ENGAGEMENT SESSION

Diem and Khang love hiking and rad spots like this, so it only made sense to do engagement/bridal photos in one of their favorite hiking trails. They scoped 3 spots before choosing this trail - hollllla doing all the work for me haha! Diem even hiked this in heels!! I was struggling to not fall in sneakers, so major props to this girl!!

Karis + Deshawn: Malibu Creek State Park + Point Dume Engagement Session

A MALIBU ENGAGEMENT SESSION

Look at these cuties!! Karis and Deshawn killed it at their engagement session AND they’re total foodies like me, so obviously we got along really well! Karis and I went to the same college and have been following each other for a while. I was so stoked when she got engaged and reached out about engagement photos!! They’re still in the process of planning their wedding, but it looks like I’ll be photographing it in September, too!! YAY!

Ailis + Michael: Pasadena Christmas Card Shoot

A HOLIDAY COUPLE’S SESSION

Ailis and I have been chatting FOREVER about planning a shoot and I’m SO HAPPY we finally made it happen! We met a while ago after our mutual friend Kristen told Ailis about me. Ailis reached out originally for photos for her social media, but was traveling a lot as was I. We kept missing each other until last winter when we were able to meet for coffee and chat. We chatted more about doing a shoot for her company at some point (still in the works), but then we managed to schedule a shoot for her and her fiance before that shoot happened. We met up in Pasadena (one of my favorite places to shoot) and wandered around Old Town. They are so sweet and were laughing the whole time - that’s all natural people!!!

Brandon + Natalie: Beverly Hills Hotel Couple's Session

A BEVERLY HILLS COUPLE’S SESSION

Brandon and Natalie flew to LA and of course it was time for a re-up on photos for both of them! I always love working with them because I not only help create content for them individually, but also together. They’re a pretty “black and white only” kind of couple AKA all of their clothes are either black or white, BUT one of Brandon’s key colors is blue. Naturally, we had to get a few shots of him in his blue sport coat, but of course we got plenty of black and white outfits in.
