Childhood Memories Meet Lifelong Love
Growing up, I spent countless days running through the serene grounds of the Rancho Santa Fe Inn, playing hide-and-seek under its epic trees and admiring its elegant charm. Little did I know, this sweet childhood hideaway would one day serve as the setting for a love story so special.
When Carter shared his plan to propose to Jamie, I couldn’t have been more thrilled. The inn embodies everything I adore about photographing love—timeless beauty, natural light, and meaningful connection. To see Carter choose this special location for such an important moment felt like a full-circle experience.


Light Meant for Them
Carter chose a grassy nook, beneath one of the most stunning trees on the property, for the moment Jamie would say yes. The golden-hour sunlight fell perfectly, almost as if it was meant to shine for them alone.




Once Jamie said yes, we transitioned into portraits of the her and Carter, as well as their families.









Proposal sessions hold a special place in my heart. To witness and document one of the most meaningful days in a couple’s life is a privilege I don’t take lightly, and am always so honored to be a part of.


Why Proposal Photography Matters
Your proposal is one of the most emotional and significant moments of your life—it’s a fleeting moment, yet its meaning endures forever. Documenting the proposal ensures that this milestone isn’t just remembered, but it’s celebrated in all its beauty.
