**When happy hour turns into the happiest moment ever! 💍✨ Abby unknowingly picked for drinks with family, not realizing she’d be saying yes to forever there, too! Talk about perfect planning without even knowing it.

From the incredible views to the amazing hospitality (huge shoutout to their team for helping me and their moms scout and prep 🙌), everything about this day was magical. Abby’s family was so sweet and supportive, and Stuart absolutely nailed every detail of the proposal—it was heartfelt, thoughtful, and so full of love.

And let’s not forget the bond Abby and I share as toaster girly swirlies (shoutout to podcast)—this proposal was pargy in all the best ways.

Cheers to Stuart and Abby, and to for being an incredible spot—not just for proposals but also for weddings, events, or even a chill day with tapas, vino, and your pup. 🍷🐾

This day was one for the books, and I couldn’t be happier for these two! 🥂✨

Today, Igor, Ćevapi, and I got to experience a sleigh tour with —and it was absolutely magical (even without snow)! The scenic route through Sand Harbor was the perfect opportunity to scout for future photo shoot locations. With this spot being just 25 minutes from home, I can’t wait to create some unforgettable memories for my clients here. Can you just imagine this in the snow?

As a bonus, we did a little photo swap with the talented .Photography and her husband, and it reminded me how odd (but important) it feels to be in front of the camera instead of behind it. While I’m not always comfortable with my own reflection, I know I’ll look back on these moments years from now and be so grateful I captured them. Carpe diem, right?

Big thanks to for hosting us—this is such a unique experience, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

📸 Check out some photos from the day to get inspired for your next adventure session or family shoot!

PS: these are all iPhone photos and I love it!

✨ A snowy surprise at Emerald Bay! ✨

Ian got down on one knee, and Avery’s reaction says it all—pure joy, love, and maybe a touch of disbelief! These two not only share an incredible love story but also serve our country with honor. Thank you both for your service and for trusting me to capture this unforgettable moment. 💍💖

With the snow-dusted mountains and stunning lake views, Tahoe set the perfect scene for their yes!

💡 Proposal season is in full swing! If you’ve been dreaming of popping the question—or just want a fun photo session while visiting this winter wonderland—now’s the time to book! My calendar is filling up fast, so let’s start planning your magical moment!

📩 Slide into my DMs, and let’s make it happen!

Jessica understood the assignment — from her stunning, flowy emerald gown catching every gust of wind to her effortless Calvin Klein look. The wind (and Trevor) became her co-star, all her confidence brought all the magic to the breathtaking Tahoe backdrop.

Meanwhile, we’re driving back from SoCal to northern Nevada, back to the regularly scheduled program of editing, photo shoots, and all the things! I hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving, and here’s to kicking off Black Friday with some creative energy and holiday vibes!

As this year winds down, I find myself reflecting on all the things I’m grateful for. First and foremost, my amazing clients. I’m endlessly thankful to work with such incredible people from all walks of life—capturing proposals, weddings, maternity moments, and family milestones. Every session reminds me how lucky I am to freeze these moments in time for you.

I’m so grateful for my human, Igor, and our little cat-and-dog family. My cats are getting older, which has been both rewarding and challenging—I love them so much, and I’ve felt a ton of guilt bringing a puppy into their world. But lately, I’ve noticed small moments of peace and playfulness between them and Ćevapi, and it gives me hope. She’s definitely brought life to our home—and to me—and I hope she’s done the same for them.

And then there’s the simple things—like my favorite Dutch Bros drink, the Cocomo. It might sound silly, but these little joys matter. Gratitude doesn’t have to be reserved for the big things; sometimes, it’s just about noticing the small pleasures that brighten your day. If you’re struggling, start there—look for those small, simple things. They’re everywhere, and they can make such a difference.

Lastly, I’m so thankful to live in such a stunning place. The Reno Tahoe region gives me all the seasons (and I love them all), something SoCal didn’t quite have. That said, I’ll always love visiting SoCal for its warmth and gorgeous light—it’s truly the best of both worlds.

Gratitude feels so grounding, and I’m holding tight to all these moments and blessings as we move into a new year.

Sometimes the perfect location is right in your own driveway! 🍂✨ I had such a blast reconnecting with Dee (my Genoa Bar buddy!) and capturing these sweet moments with Matt, their vintage truck, and their adorable pup Marley—who, by the way, hit it off instantly with . 🐶💕

The fall colors, mountain backdrop, and cozy vibes were unmatched. From cuddles in the truck bed to sweet moments surrounded by vibrant red and golden trees, these two brought so much fun and love to their session. The mountains framed it all perfectly for those rustic fall vibes. Here’s to love, laughter, and a driveway with a view! 🛻🌄

PS: the snow is coming and there is still time to book a mini session for those holiday cards.

Angad and Jillian’s anniversary shoot was a dream. It was my first time back in Beverly Hills since the day everything shut down for COVID, and it felt amazing to return, soak in the energy, and capture those iconic LA moments. We hit up all the spots you picture when you close your eyes and think of LA, and these two brought all the love and style to match!

Also, how amazing is it to be in LA after the Dodgers’ World Series win? The city is buzzing, and it’s the perfect backdrop for capturing some fall memories.

LA friends: I’m back this week with a few openings for fall sessions on 11/7, 11/9, 11/10, and 11/11. These aren’t on my site, so DM me for info. I’m flexible, except during the PHI vs DAL game. Let’s capture some autumn magic.

From yelling ‘GO BIRDS!’ across the bar in Virginia City to capturing Austin & Aliyah’s epic wedding day—what a wild and wonderful ride! 🦅💍 I met these two (and their awesome family) while bartending, saw the Eagles swag, and immediately made them exchange Instagrams with me.

Flash forward to now: I’ve had the honor of shooting their family photos, proposal, engagement, and now their wedding in Fernley at the brand-new .fernley. You can never have too many Eagles friends, and I just love these people!

🌄 Mountain View’s for days…I truly had post paralysis because I have so many faves..

Raydee & Ryan’s fall wedding at Convict Lake was a perfect blend of love, laughter, and breathtaking landscapes! 🍂✨ With towering mountains and the peaceful lake reflecting the warm colors of autumn, every moment felt like a dream come true.

They embraced all the beauty that Mammoth has to offer—from exchanging vows under the golden aspens to spontaneous moments down the road during blue hour. Trusting my vision, they stepped off the beaten path to create some unforgettable images, and it was so worth it! 📸

From the DIY florals lovingly crafted by Raydee’s family to the heartfelt touches that made their day uniquely theirs, this wedding was a labor of love in the most beautiful sense. We even had a local deer stop by, adding an extra touch of magic to the day! 🦌

Congratulations, you two, on a day filled with adventure, joy, and so much love! I can’t wait to see where your journey takes you next!

Lindsey and Alex, visiting all the way from Kansas City, had the sweetest proposal by the lake! Alex and I clicked right away to plan this epic surprise for Lindsey. The day started out cloudy and gray, but those clouds gave us the most AMAZING pink sunset! It’s a reminder that clouds can often bring the best backdrops.

Today, I’m out here shooting mini sessions in Manhattan Beach—an epic spot for photos—and even though it’s been foggy since I arrived, I’m holding out for that same magical pink glow. Regardless of the weather, there’s always a little room for magic, right?

Bravedon is almost 2, and sometimes to get the shot, you just gotta do what you gotta do! 😂 These moments with this amazing family mean so much to me. Jillian and I have a special connection as fellow Route 91 survivors, and I’ve had the privilege of capturing these sweet memories for them over the past three years. 🧡💜

Even though the weather says otherwise, it’s officially fall! 🍂 In about 10 days, those temps (and pretty leaves) will finally drop, so now’s the time for fall photos! I’ve got one mini left this Saturday in Tahoe before heading to LA next week. I still have 10/16 open for beach sessions in LA, but I’m tempted to cancel it and drive down a day later for my sanity. 😅 If you want photos this year, better reach out soon!

Major shoutout to all the wedding parties out there! After years of photographing weddings, I’ve seriously come to appreciate just how much goes into being a bridesmaid. From the shoes, makeup, and hair, to walking in heels, and being the bride’s right-hand gal—it’s no joke, but SO worth it!

Last week, I got to switch roles and be the bridesmaid myself for one of my besties, Adrianna. Yep, that’s me in the photo (so no, I didn’t take these pics!). I had the absolute best time! I couldn’t be happier for her—she’s found the man of her dreams and a family that makes her heart whole.

We go way back to our Macaroni Grill days, when we were just hostesses living it up and having the time of our lives. (I was 19, she was 17… okay, you get the idea!)

Big thanks to the photographer who captured all the fun and handled a little chaos from hurricanes and tornadoes—no biggie, right?! Also the humidity in North Carolina is no joke! The venue was incredible, and the day couldn’t have been more perfect. 💕

Lastly, sending prayers to all those out there who have been suffering from hurricane helene.

🎶 Do you remember, the 21st night of September? 🎶

Maddie and Andrew sure will! We arrived at their beautiful proposal spot in Tahoe, only to find a crowd of tourists soaking in the same golden sunset we were chasing. 😅 So, we had to get a little stealthy! I was hiding in plain sight, trying not to be too obvious, while we waited for the perfect rock to open up. ⛰️💍

When it finally did, Andrew dropped to one knee, the light hit just right, and everything was pure magic. Maddie’s reaction was priceless, and the golden light was like something out of a dream. ✨💛

I may have snapped a few extra photos because I couldn’t help myself—when the love and light are this perfect, how can you not? 😍 Swipe through to relive the 21st night of September with these two lovebirds!
