I'm a mom with a PhD in human development, but a creative at heart...so after graduation I quickly quit my full time job to follow my photography dreams.

Your elopement is one chapter, but your marriage is the whole story. I want to capture the start of your story, to be your hype person and your coastal California guide.

I'm here to capture you, just as you are

Love, Kristin

A yoga lover (sorry my pilates girlies, I'll go to a class with you but yoga is just so much better). I love being outdoors, am passionate about our planet, and I love creating and expressing myself in all the ways (painting, ceramics, fashion, etc).

My boyfriend said I had to include that I like being organized, but little does he know its because the inside of my brain looks like my 10 month old just got a hold of the bowl of spaghetti I left on the table.

So yes, I always have a plan but I also thrive off of spontaneity. You want to make a random pit stop on elopement day because the beach we're driving by just looks too incredible to miss? Count me in! I love to adventure, experience new places and cultures, and am not afraid to sit on the edge of that cliff to capture the true emotion of your elopement day.

Moving away from the coast for graduate school made me realize how magical the beach is. Although the mountains are beautiful, there’s just something so, meaningful, tranquil, and contemplative about the coast. So if you’re worried about figuring out where to elope in California, what time of day is best to avoid the crowds, or need help booking other vendors, activities, or places to stay….well I can send you all the recommendations!

I'm a California native!

No pressure.
No performance.

Just the two of you, doing this your way.

If you value creativity, happiness, freedom, and inner harmony, then you're in the right place.

Don't feel comfortable in front of the camera? Don't worry, you're not alone! Almost everyone I work with says some version of 'I'm so awkward in front of the camera.'
That's where I come in! I won't put you in a stiff, awkward pose and I won't make you try to figure it out on your own. I'm a welcoming, friendly, chill soul.
