A senior golfer on the Redwood Empire Golf Course

I was SOOOOOOO excited when Avarys mom contacted me about shooting Avarys senior portraits. I had been dying to do another senior session with horses, and I have always wanted to do a golf senior session. I traveled to Freshwater where we started at a beautiful property with an amazing creek in the back. We […]

Avary’s Horse & Golf Senior Shoot

Beau Pre wedding in Humboldt County

Jesse and Malindas Beau Pre golf course wedding was absolutely beautiful. The guys started out the day with some early morning golf, while the girls all got ready together at a perfectly decorated private residence.

senior river session in Benbow

Taryn is one of my 2020 senior reps. Not only is she at the top of her class at Fortuna High School, she is also super sweet. We traveled down to one of my favorite river locations in Southern Humboldt and shot some beautiful shots in the sunshine. The river is always nice and warm […]

College Cove & Trinidad State Beach Engagement Session

A wedding couple kissing in the rain underneath an umbrella at the Benbow Inn

I have been dreaming of shooting a Benbow Inn Wedding ever since I started shooting weddings four years ago. There are two reasons for this. It is a gorgeous venue, and it is 5 minutes from my house. I was so happy when Lucas and Vanessa chose me as their wedding photographer. I was envisioning […]

Humboldt County Beach Engagement

Golden light senior session in Humboldt County

Vianney and I met in Southern Humboldt for her senior session. There are a couple of different reasons that I love to shoot in the southern end of Humboldt County. 1. The weather is almost always nicer than it is northern Humboldt. 2. I know of many great locations, all within a small radius of […]

I had made a post back in December about wanting do a snow session. Hannahs mom Sumer contacted me about booking a session in January. It took a few tries, but we finally made it happen. We had to work around both of our work schedules, so I wasnt sure if there would still be […]
