Kayla will attend the University of San Francisco and will be majoring in architecture.

I love these BFF sessions. They are always super casual and the interactions between friends are fun to capture. Molly and Abigail have known each other forever. They are cousins and were raised together. Their moms are sisters and so are they, basically. Both are seniors this year at Ponderosa and will graduate with the Class of ’21. Both played on the volleyball team. This fall, Abby is heading off to Chatt State and Molly to boot camp, to join the Navy. You know they are going to miss each other. Y’all are beautiful. Wishing you both the very best…

Back in December of 2018, I got to photograph Christy and Quinn as they welcomed their first child, Elliott into their family. (see here) Fast forward a couple years and now Miss Elliott has a brand new baby brother. Grady is pretty chill as it seems common for a second baby.

Sure, being surrounded in the lupine super bloom is pure magic, but as I came to find out, after meeting Alyse and Ryan for the first time, so are their energies, both with each other and with the pure sweetness they put out into the world. Our hour long session turned into a several as they chased the light around Folsom Lake with me while we carefully navigated the lupine. Not initially planning an engagement session, nor a wedding during covid, we were able to shift some wedding time into engagement time as their larger wedding required some scaling back,…

This fall Emma will attend Xavier University in Cinncinati Ohio, participating in a musical theatre program. Wishing you the best of it all Emma- I can’t wait to see your name in lights!

Claire is thoughtfully reflective. As an aspiring author, she spends a lot of time reading and writing stories with fantasy being her favorite genre. She also makes beautiful jewelry which she wore(and I photographed) during her senior session.

We met Carlo down by the river in Coloma near where he lives to take some photographs to commemorate his senior year. As a student, making it through 20-21 is something to be proud of. As an adult it is hard but honestly, I was able to focus my energies on “around the home” activities- cleaning, tossing, cooking etc. As a high school senior it would have driven me nuts. At a time when you are finding yourself and trying to engage with folks, Covid made it all the more awkward. For the Class of 2021, the promise of an…

I’ve had the pleasure of photographing the O’rilley kids for years, while simultaneously providing tissues to Trisa as she watched each of her ‘not babies anymore’ approach their high school graduation.

Alyson and Frankie were ready to marry and decided to keep it small in order to do so.  Micro-wedding’s are becoming quite popular in these Covid days and I have to say- I love them as there is so much more focus on the couple and on the ceremony. Alyson and Frankie exchanged vows at the beautiful Newcastle Wedding Gardens & Red Horse Barn. Whoever ordered up that fabulous day in January- thank you. I ran around outside with the warm sun on my shoulders all day long! What a treat to again work with some fabulous vendors too! Here…
