Their Story:

Lauren and Andrew met at a pub crawl, when he was wearing pink bunny ears and a pink shirt. Later they met again on Tinder and then again on Bumble. Finally they realized their meeting was no coincidence, and they ended up talking nonstop. They shared their first kiss in the rain (uh HELLOOO Notebook vibes!!!), and now live together with their two Yorkies in Seattle.

Although they live in Seattle, Palm Springs is their second home. Andrew proposed to Lauren here surrounded by her family & friends. They are getting married at Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa in a few months too! No wonder why they wanted to take their epic engagement photos out in Joshua Tree nearby. They practically live the boho minimalist chic vibes, which in my opinion is the best!!!

Lauren says she fell in love with my photos because of the desert, boho, modern, minimal vibes I give off. So you could say our meeting was destined too

My favorite sessions:

You probably know that my absolute favorite thing to photograph is love & joy of all kinds!

But what you may not know is the specific kind that makes my heart beat fast.

I love photographing parties celebrating love (whatever that looks like to you— whether that’s a big fat wedding or an intimate elopement where we pop some champagne together). And although so many of my bookings are that, one of my most popular bookings are “adventure sessions.

An “Adventure Session” is a photo trip in a crazy awesome place filled with epic landscapes & golden light. And eating in-n-out & debating which Marvel character is best, duh.

Basically, wild couples in crazy landscapes!!!

These sessions are for those who are down to get a little messy, have their hair blown, and maybe stand on the edge of a cliff (literally). They’ll blow your hiking socks off. The sky is the limit for these, and they’re my specialty!

If you’d rather frolic in the desert, climb a mountain, or visit a desolate stormy beach instead of your typical engagement session, let’s just say I’m already on my way. I’ll take us to a stunning national park or somewhere off the beaten path, where you’ll relax, romance, and play. Let’s pick a spot that means a lot to you, and let’s get wild (& pop the champagne).
