Monterey Family Session // The Payne Family
I’ve photographed the Payne family for the past four years and it’s so nice to see how they grow as a family year to year! They’re a local Pebble Beach family who spends a lot of time at Still Water Cove and wanted to capture their holiday session in a space they know and love. This cove can be tricky with tides but we got so lucky with a nice low tide and sunny weather! I love how Mandy styled her family, her dress is Anthropologie and the girl’s outfits are from Velveteen. Mandy always does a great job printing her pictures and I can’t wait to see what she does with these!

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.
