It is the last day of 2017. Wow. What a year. It flew by soooooo fast. I was going through some 2017 photo shoots today and was feeling overwhelmed with how blessed I have been with such amazing clients this year. Some I have know for a while, some were new. There were more shoots […]

I shot Nick and Larissas engagement photos out on Paradise Ridge, near Shelter Cove.  I asked them where they were getting married and she said, Mount Shasta.  I assumed they were going to hire a photographer from that area, so I was so ecstatic when they asked me to photograph their destination wedding. Mount Shasta […]

I was on the South Fork High School football field taking some action shots when Andrew’s dad approached me about taking Andrew’s senior portraits the following year.  I was super excited, because I love senior sports photos. They are my favorite! Flash ahead a year later where we made that happen. We started out on the […]

Thomas & Jessika’s Romantic Rosina Vineyards Wedding

I have known Levi since he was in 7th grade and one of my students. I taught him again in High School PE. One of the things I remember is that he always had cowboy boots on. After spending the morning with him on his family’s Southern Humboldt ranch, now I see why. : ) […]

Dave and Aimee were supposed to get married atop a cliff overlooking the ocean, but the day before their wedding day they had to unexpectedly switch venues.  Aimee messaged me the following message, Our wedding is just a day…our marriage is what we care about.
