Photography that tells your story.
Whether you’re building a brand, beginning a marriage, or raising a family — every chapter deserves to be documented with intention, artistry, and care.
01
Weddings & Elopements
Strong, warm, direct images for your homepage and About page. These are the images that do the heaviest lifting — the first thing someone sees when they land on your website, the photo that appears next to your name on a conference speaker page, the image that runs with a press feature. They need to communicate everything at once.

The Experience
I’m here for you ~ to capture your day in a way that feels real, effortless, and genuinely you.
No stiff poses. No forced smiles. Just honest, beautiful moments.
I come in with a documentary eye, ready to capture the energy of the day and all the meaningful details.
Think of me as your laid-back but professional, camera-carrying friend ~ someone who’s truly in your corner. I’m not here to be just another vendor on your list. I want to be a part of your day ~ really in it so ~ I can tell your story from the inside out.
I bring support and guidance every step of the way, so you feel fully present on your wedding day. After all is said and done, you’ll have photographs that hold the feeling of your day~forever.
Wedding photography is more than just my job~it’s how I connect with people, tell stories with heart, and celebrate love in all its beautiful forms.
If you connect with my work ~I’d be honored to document your wedding day.
Your photographer
Hi, I’m Becca.
Based in Oakland. Working across the Bay Area for over a decade. I’ve photographed 200+ weddings and elopements, worked with founders and executives from startups to established brands, and documented families at every stage of the beautiful, ordinary chaos of being human together.
My work lives at the intersection of editorial photography, fine art, and photojournalism. I show up, I pay attention, and I make images of who you already are ~ at your most alive, your most real, your most you.
Simple. Intentional. Yours.
01
The conversation
We start with a real discussion about your goals, your fears, your timeline, and what success looks like. No generic intake forms.
02
The plan
Together we map out locations, looks, timing, and shot priorities — so when shoot day arrives, you can focus on being present instead of directing.
03
The session
Relaxed, fun, and surprisingly fast. Most clients tell me it was nothing like they expected — in the best way. I know when to guide and when to get out of the way.
04
The Delivery
Your gallery arrives with carefully selected, fully edited images ready to use. For branding clients, that includes guidance on how and where to use each shot.
Frequently asked questions
01/
What should I wear?
Think about how you want to be perceived — and dress slightly more intentionally than an average workday without losing authenticity. For most wellness practitioners this means clean, simple clothing in your brand colors or neutral earth tones. If you wear a specific uniform or work clothes — a yoga outfit, a clinical jacket — those should absolutely be included. Bring two to three options.
02/
Can we shoot in my treatment room or studio?
Always yes — and I strongly prefer it. Your actual space is where your clients will actually be. Photographing you there makes the unfamiliar familiar, reduces the anxiety new clients feel about trying something new, and communicates your environment in a way no rented studio can.
03/
Can we also shoot outdoors?
Absolutely — and for many wellness practitioners it’s a wonderful choice. Natural light is the most flattering and authentic light source for wellness photography. We’ll choose outdoor locations that feel intentional and aligned with your brand — not generic, but specific to your practice and the Bay Area environment that is part of your story.
04/
I’m worried about feeling awkward. Can you help with that?
Believe or not, most of the faces you see on this webpage had the same concern. The good news is that I consider half of my job is making you feel comfortable and relaxed. Brand clients consistently report the their session experience felt easy and fun, even the ones who were nervous beforehand.
05/
How long does it take to receive the photos?
The turnaround time for receiving your photos is typically 1-2 weeks, depending on the scope of the project. I then have a gallery ready for you to choose your selections. From the time I receive your selections it takes 1-2 weeks. I ensure each image is carefully edited to meet our high standards. If you’d like me to choose the final images then it is only 1-2 weeks.
06/
Do I need a model client for in-session photos?
Not necessarily — but it helps for certain shots. A willing friend, a colleague, or an established client who’s comfortable being photographed can make these images feel more real. I can also work with just you and use creative angles that suggest the presence of a client without one actually being there. We’ll figure out the right approach during our planning call.
