Hiii!! Im Chris, a photographer who's lucky enough to call both the east coast and west coast my home. I currently live full time in Northern California (was previously Boston based!), but often visit New England through out the year! You could say Im no stranger to the airport, lucky for me I LOVE traveling and exploring new places!! On most days you can find me outside whether it be taking a walk in my neighborhood, paddle boarding in Lake Tahoe, visiting the midtown farmers market in Sacramento, or trying a new spot for brunch. When I'm not soaking up mother natures rays, you can find me binge watching the latest Netflix series (but lets be real is there a better show then the office?!), catching a pilates class or checking out the latest restaurants with my friends!
Ive had my photography business for about 6 years now where Ive gotten to travel all over the US capturing love stories! Prior to that I worked as a Senior Art Director for 5 years creating social media content for a major retailer. I have a degree in Fashion Merchandising and Minor in studio Art. All those experiences were the perfect stepping stones to get me to where I am today. From being an expert at photoshoot planning, timelines and budgets, having a knack for working with all types of people and a love for fashion & styling, it allows me to deliver the photos of your dreams.

I believe in building a true connection and relationship with anyone I work with it! I want to learn all about you! Having an understanding of who you are as a person/couple is a priority to me and curating a custom experience for you is my ultimate goal. Not one photoshoot is the same, so why should it be treated that way? Let me bring your vision to life & give you the experience you've dreamed of.
Where you are welcomed with open arms and made to feel your absolute best. Photos that make you feel all the feels.

favorite person
This is my boyfriend ry! We were in a long distance relationship for about two years (I'm not talking a couple hours drive apart, I mean living on opposite sides of the country!) until I decided to make the move to California last year. We've been enjoying exploring California together and making northern California our home. I will take any and all of the recommendations for places to see & restaurants to try!

favorite drink of choice
A fresh margarita, a glass of sweet white wine, or a bubbly mimosa are a few of my favorite things. Honestly the sweeter the better!
