Ryan + Mackenzi Ballardo | Newcastle Backyard Wedding

These two had love brought to each other by fate. They met for the first time walking down the aisle together at another friends wedding. A true love story. The whole night after the ceremony the two were inseparable and now 15 months later, it was their turn. The whole day was calm and filled […]

Loomis, CA It’s harvest season in the valley and this lady could not be any more excited about it! I’m lucky enough to watch them grow and change through the seasons up until they are all picked from their vines and sent to be crushed for WINE. As I was wandering aimlessly through the vineyard […]

This love story began at the University of Nevada, Reno. Johnny worked at Lombardi Recreation Center and Ashley worked at UNR as well. Johnny started running off for coffee breaks more frequently to catch a glimpse of Ashley at her desk. Once he worked out the courage to ask her out, the rest was history. […]

Just like the bride needs her girls, the groom needs his men! Picking your tribe for your day is an important factor in creating the right atmosphere for you. Who are the people who will calm your nerves, make you laugh, pray with you, and even take a shot with you? Those are the people […]

This past week I got to shoot an engagement session in one of my favorite locations with an awesome couple + their adorably […]

It’s crazy what an amazing space, farm fresh veggies, and my child (aka my camera) can do for a person. I was most definitely in my element this morning shooting for midtown farmers market in Sacramento, CA. I got to do what I love while exploring more of what midtown and Sacramento has to offer.  […]

One of my absolute favorite places to be is outdoors. Anyone who knows me knows that I can easily get lost in a new idea or project. I get so excited about what I am doing I tend to check out from the world for a bit and focus on my creativity.  Tahoe is my […]
