For families Who Crave Experience Over Things

So you’ve decided you’d rather have an experience that actually reflects who you are as a family over a stiff, posed photo session.

You want a day full of laughter, adventure, and those little in-between moments that make your family yours, in a place that feels like home.

You know your family’s love is one-of-a-kind, and you want your photos to be a reflection of that.

And you’re ABSOLUTELY right. You deserve more than just photos. You deserve real memories captured in a way that feels true to you. The kind of moments you’ll want to frame on your walls, not just because they look beautiful, but because they take you right back to the feeling of that day.

I don’t just take photos,

I craft experiences

So let’s be real here.

You’re here because you like to do things a little bit differently than everyone else.

Your family thrives on adventure, on making memories that are more than just posed smiles—you want the wind in your hair, dirt on your shoes, and moments that feel as real as the love you share.

You want something immersive, where your kids can run wild, you can breathe in the fresh mountain air, explore the trails, and be surrounded by the epic beauty Sequoia has to offer.

This isn’t just a photo session. It’s a memory in the making, and I’m here to capture it all exactly as it unfolds.

Your love for Sequoia… it’s not just a place; it’s a feeling, one that feels like home.

Trust me, I know the feeling

you know that saying…

a local knows best

I understand because Sequoia is home to me.

Hey, I’m ariel! born and raised in California’s central valley, I grew up wanting to explore every inch of its wild beauty.

from giant sequoia trees to the granite giants, i love every inch of Sequoia. it’s a part of me.

Now, I help couples like you create intentional, experience-driven sessions!

This isn’t just a job to me, it is a lifestyle. When I am not photographing unique couples…you can still find me in the park, with a camera in hand, exploring the familiar trails or finding new hidden gems.

The Experience:

What It’s Like to Work With an expert

From ‘What If?’ to ‘Let’s Do This”

First is picking a package that allows you to have the day of your dreams! If you don’t know which package works best, you can share your vision with me and I will assist you on the coverage needed. After that I’ll send over a contract and invoice. After both are complete, you’re officially booked!
This is where the real magic ! I will send over a questionnaire to get a clearer vision of your day.
We’ll start with a video chat(upon request) where I’ll help you craft the perfect day. I’ll guide you through location options, best seasons, and unique experiences that match your vision!
Whether that’s a mini hike, a picnic by a lake, or sunset by the river. You dream it and I’ll help make it happen.
I’ll handle the logistics, so you can focus on what matters…your family. Instead of being stressed and doing it all on your own. I’ll send the google pins and you bring all the love! Deal?
We’ll adventure, we’ll laugh, we’ll have a great time but most importantly you’ll have the day that you dreamed of with photos to remember it with!
Depending on the package you booked, I will send over sneak peak photos! No need to anxiously wait WEEKs for a preview, I got you!
Depending on your package, you’ll receive a stunning, emotion-packed gallery that transports you right back to your day. Tangible moments that you get to keep, forever.
