Big Sur Holiday Photography Session

Sep 4

Melissa, Anthony, and Brooks were visiting Monterey from Texas and wanted to take their family photos by the beach. Melissa grew up here and was looking forward to spending time with family and capturing baby Brooks the first time by the ocean. I was so honored they chose me to capture their holiday photos in my hometown. I was able to show them a beach and location they had never seen before and capture memories they will be able to pass down to future generations. Early morning photo shoots are becoming my favorite sessions.

Carmel Engagement Session

Nov 24, 2024

H + J chose Carmel by the Sea for their engagement session. They have known each other since high school, and their relationship is so full of laughter that it was easy to capture them naturally. I appreciate both of you for trusting me to preserve this time of your life in Carmel. I love Carmel for engagement sessions as a variety of landscapes and the ability to get away from crowds is second to none.

California Redwood Elopement

Nov 22, 2024

K + J eloped this week in the beautiful redwoods of California. They stayed at the beautiful Glen Oaks Big Sur and brought their amazing friend Micheal to perform a heartfelt ceremony in the redwoods. My favorite part of their day was how they got ready together in such a sweet way and set aside 10 min for creative photos in the light of their cabin. I loved the small cake that their friend made them with the cutest cake topper! ( a Polaroid of them!)

Deetjens Big Sur Photographer

Oct 31, 2024

Deetjens Big Sur is one of my favorite hotels for clients to stay at during their California elopement. It is one of the oldest hotels in Big Sur, with its charm and unique vibes. S + M got ready at the beautiful antique cabin in the woods and their ceremony under the redwoods, followed by a first dance and picnic at the beach. What a beautiful day!
