The heArt And Soul behind your photos
My name is Kelsey, and I’m a Northern California wedding and family photographer, documenting love across San Francisco, Napa, and Lake Tahoe. Inspired by authenticity, my work blends digital and film to create imagery that feels both refined and sentimental.
When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me along the coast, exploring the outdoors with family and friends, or snuggled up on the couch with a fictional novel.

I’m all about creating an environment where your day can unfold naturally, capturing the honest, uninterrupted moments, glistening eyes, warm embraces, and full-bellied laughs.
Whether you’re planning a full celebration or something more intimate, I approach every wedding holistically, working alongside you to ensure each part of your day feels meaningful and fun.

Maternity sessions are designed to honor your beauty, power and strength as the mother of your growing family. A way to hold onto this fleeting chapter, with imagery that only grows more sentimental over time.

Whether you just welcomed your baby into the world or are sending them off to college, every season deserves to be documented with care.
It’s not just about capturing milestones, but the raw emotions, connections, and the culture of your family along the way.
Rooted in connection and guided by intention, my imagery reflects the people, the presence, and the meaning behind life’s tender moments. Each experience is approached with care, allowing space for things to unfold naturally while being documented as they are.
