Your love story is unique. Let’s capture it with care.

Engagements | Proposals | Anniversaries

I love capturing the moments that tell your love story.

Celebrate the excitement of saying “yes” with a beautiful engagement photoshoot in Merced, California. Engagement sessions are the perfect way to capture your love story before the big day and create images you’ll treasure for a lifetime.

Whether you want romantic golden-hour photos surrounded by oak trees, a cozy downtown session with urban vibes, or a scenic shoot in nearby orchards and vineyards, you don’t need to go far to find the perfect location in Central California.

Engagement photos are also a great way to get comfortable in front of the camera before your wedding and can be used for save-the-dates, invitations, or decor at your reception.

Every couple is unique, and I offer several session options so you can find the perfect fit for your photoshoot. If you have your heart set on a scenic beach session or engagement photos in Yosemite, I’ve got you covered there, too!

FAQs

Are you open to locations outside of Merced?

Of course! I love photographing couples in any location that holds a special place in your heart. Locations 25+ miles from Merced are subject to an added travel fee.

Will you help us figure out what to wear?

Absolutely! I’m happy to help with outfit ideas and styling guidance so you both feel confident and your outfits complement each other and the location. I can also provide tips on colors, textures, and what photographs best!

We have never done a photoshoot and we can be shy/awkward. Will you help us with posing?

Your engagement session is all about capturing your connection and telling your story! I’ll guide you through natural poses and prompts so you never have to worry about feeling awkward or not knowing what to do. Expect lots of movement, genuine moments, and plenty of opportunities to just enjoy being together. I aim to make your photoshoot feel like a fun date, not something to dread!
