COUPLES &
You’re probably somewhere between “I can’t believe this is happening” and “this is actually our life.”
Maybe you’re newly engaged and soaking it in.
Maybe you’re growing a tiny human and watching your body change in the most powerful way.
Maybe you just know this season — whatever it holds — deserves to be remembered.
And if you feel most like yourselves outside — barefoot in the grass, windswept on the coast, wrapped up in each other while the golden light settles over the hills of Northern California — you’re exactly where you’re meant to be.
This is for the couples and soon-to-be parents who love the outdoors, who breathe deeper in open space, who want their photos to feel like movement, connection, and the kind of effortless beauty NorCal does best. Fresh air. Real moments.
A little adventure woven into the way you remember this chapter.
Preserving your love story in Northern California’s wild beauty.
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA couple PHOTOGRAPHER
MATERNiTY
but you can call me leash.
I’m a Northern California couples photographer, born and raised right here in NorCal. From the windswept beaches along the coast to the mountains of Tahoe and the golden fields surrounding Sacramento, this is home. It’s where I grew up, where I’m raising my two boys, and where I’ve built a photography business centered around documenting love in every season.
Being a mom has completely shaped the way I photograph. Time moves fast — faster than we ever expect. One minute you’re newly engaged, planning forever. The next you’re celebrating an anniversary or watching your baby bump grow. These seasons deserve more than phone photos. They deserve to be documented in a way that feels natural, emotional, and timeless — so you can look back years from now and remember exactly how it felt.
As a Northern California engagement and maternity photographer, I specialize in capturing couples in beautiful outdoor locations across NorCal — from coastal cliffs and beaches to mountain overlooks and open fields. If you’re drawn to nature, movement, and connection, you’re in the right place.
When you book with me, I take care of everything. I help you choose the perfect Northern California location, guide you through what to wear, and direct you with natural, easy posing so you never feel awkward. My goal is to create images that feel effortless but intentional — romantic without being cheesy, and true to who you are.
Whether you’re planning an engagement session in Northern California, celebrating an anniversary, or documenting your growing family, I’m here to make the process simple, fun, and meaningful.
Because these moments? They don’t last forever. But your photos will.

Kat & Andrew
There aren’t enough words to describe how amazing and talented Alicia is. I have asked her to capture so many milestones in my life, my wedding being the most recent. She has a magical way of finding the perfect angle, lighting and my favorite - the best candids. She is reliable and so easy to work with. I would never hesitate to recommend her to anyone who wants amazing photos and the peace of mind that they hired the right person.
