hello, welcome to your story

 Since 2015, I’ve been capturing the tender, fleeting moments of motherhood, families, and lovers.
Based in the Central Valley, I serve all of Central California: 
from the Bay Area to Yosemite, and along the coast - all with a focus on creating timeless, soulful images.

As a former ballerina turned photographer, I have a deep love for the beauty and the transcendence of the female form. My goal is to help you feel like the goddess you are as we create art together
and celebrate the most exciting chapters of your life.
I don’t rely on elaborate props, manufactured moments, or staged sets.
Instead, you are always the center of the story.
Through a gentle mix of prompts and natural movement, candid moments emerge: the soft caress of a growing belly, the quiet embrace between mother and child and this is where the true magic happens.

When I’m not behind the camera, you can usually find me surrounded by my six cats, tending my chickens, and hunting for treasures while thrifting or exploring antique shops. Otherwise I'm sipping tea with the March sisters or strolling over the countryside with Elizabeth Bennet.
These passions shape the timeless, whimsical aesthetic that defines Fern + Flora.

Photography, for me, is all about capturing emotion, connection, and the poetry of life.
Each session is a collaboration, a celebration, and a way to preserve your story for years to come.

I would love the opportunity to work with you and create images that are both intimate and timeless. 
I can’t wait to meet you and begin your story.
