Big Sur, California Family Photos with Payne Family
I love when clients become friends, I had the opportunity to photograph this sweet couple in Big Sur when they were expecting, glowing, excited, and anxious. I was invited back within the first 48 hours of sweet Ellory's birth at the Community Hospital of Monterey, while mom and dad were tired, emotional, and madly in love with their new babe. I photographed her at home before she was 8 days old and now at 2 months, I feel like I've experienced all the big milestones along with them. I feel so honored they have chosen me to capture these important moments. I can’t wait to see their holiday cards!

When Hanna and Nick invited me to capture their elopement—a dreamy, cave‑side ceremony with their favorite people, a shot‑ski that crackled with laughter, and private vows read high above the Pacific Ocean—it felt like the most perfect love story. It was equal parts intimate, wild, heartfelt, and oh-so-Carmel. And it’s the kind of story I live for as a Carmel elopement photographer.
