Sydney
My love for photography began in high school, where I discovered a passion for documenting genuine emotion and connection through honest storytelling. Outside of weddings, I’m a loud, friendly, outgoing horse girl living in Marin County with my husband, our two boys, our dogs, and my horse. I bring that same warm, energetic personality to every wedding, helping couples feel comfortable while creating images that preserve not just how the day looked, but how it felt.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE WEDDING MEMORY SO FAR?
My favorite wedding memory so far was recently, when I photographed the wedding of my high school photography teacher's son. It was a full- circle moment for me being able to take the passion my teacher ignited in me and be able to use that to capture her son saying "I do!"
WHAT IS YOUR AREA OF PERFECT HAPPINESS?
Perfect happiness to me is spending a day outdoors with my family, my horse, and watching my husband and son ride dirt bikes.
WHERE ARE YOUR FAVORITE LOCAL SONOMA COUNTY HANGOUTS?
My favorite local / secret spots to hang is a hidden beach spot on the coastline in Bodega! It’s a small little gem that still not many know about and there’s a restaurant that overlooks the water my husband and I love going to before going to the beach with our kids!
IN WHAT HISTORICAL PERIOD WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO HAVE LIVED?
I have a deep love for the renaissance period of Europe. Specifically in France. The transition from Medieval Gothic period to the more graceful and softening of the art and architecture has always held a special place in my heart that I would have loved to live in.
WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THAT YOU COULD TRAVEL ANYWHERE RIGHT NOW?
If I could travel anywhere right now I would want to go to Croatia! I got to spend the summer of 2019 traveling through the Mediterranean and wasn’t able to make it to Croatia. Its beautiful waters and the culture are incredibly intriguing and definitely next on my bucket list of places to visit.
Go-tos
HORSES
I am a horse girl through and through! I was a rodeo queen and still help out in the rodeo queen community with coaching girls.
BAKING
My love language is food. Whether it’s a special home cooked meal or baking for someone my go to for showing someone how much I care for them is through food.
MY FAMILY
My family is my world! I am married to my childhood best friend and love being a boy mom! Our boys are only 15 months apart.
GILLMORE GIRLS
A quirk of mine is that I’m a Gilmore girls FAN GIRL!! I have watched the series probably 15 times in full. And twice through each time I was pregnant with my boys. It’s always on while I edit and in the background when I go to sleep. Even my husband can name one liners from me having it on 😂
WATER
All things water fanatic. You can catch me and my family hanging by a pool, on the beach of a lake or ocean, floating on a river or even playing in sprinkles!
SENTIMENTAL
Lover of the small sentimental things! Maybe not the grandest of gestures but the little things that hold the most meaning to someone. I'm the biggest sucker for those moments!
