Let's tell your story.
life is an adventure.
I’ve been a storyteller
since I can remember.
Ten years ago,
I picked up a camera &
started telling stories in a
new way:
with photos.
I am an oxymoron.
I’M RATIONAL, YET CREATIVE.
I will forever live in a big city,
but I miss my hometown in the midwest.
I’m an extroverted introvert.
I’m all about the details but also dream big.
I am a storyteller,
who doesn’t like writing about herself.
All of these contradictions make me
uniquely me.

I am a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Southern California, soaking up the sunshine with my husband, Seth, and our two fur-babies. I love to explore and believe every day can be an adventure if you let it. And these adventures should be documented from time to time so you can relive them for generations.

I am a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Southern California. As the daughter of an English teacher, I have been a storyteller since I could speak. Ten years ago, I picked up a camera and started telling stories in a new way: through photos. I love to adventure, from exploring my own city to traveling the world. I enjoy discovering new places as much as I enjoy coming back to the comfort of home. I believe every day can be an adventure if you let it. And these adventures should be documented from time to time so you can look back on them for generations. Let’s tell your story together!

You will feel like you have known Ali for years after being together for 10 minutes. We gained a level of trust and comfort with her that made our images better! Our big day was such a blur, but Ali managed to capture every moment. She listened to our ideas and acted as our right hand all day; I don't think you can put a price tag on that. We will forever have the images she took displayed in our home. She will make you feel so special and her work will exceed your expectations!

Ali listened to what we wanted and made the session so easy and fun for us! She did an amazing job capturing the moment without making us feel like we were being watched. She let us be ourselves and that made the experience for us. Nothing felt rushed and she took her time to get great photographs. Our images came out better than we could've imagined!
so

She made us feel at ease and honestly, there were moments when we forgot she was even there. I loved that she took control in a way that allowed us to enjoy our day. She was helpful and able to get the pictures we wanted without disrupting anything. She is attentive to details and will do everything in her power to make your wedding run as smoothly as possible.
