Petaluma, California Engagement Session


Erica and Max’s engagement session in Petaluma, CA was nothing short of magical. Nestled in the heart of Sonoma County, California, this little downtown corner gave us the perfect mix of charm, character, and soft light to bring their story to life on digital, film + Polaroid Film formats.


What made this session truly special was how open and trusting Erica and Max were—they went along with every one of my ideas and embraced the experience fully trusting me to bring their vision to life. Whether we were chasing golden light or exploring quiet side streets, these two stayed present with each other, and that’s what made the photos so real and full of feeling.


Their love is effortless, playful, and grounded in something so genuine—it made capturing their connection an absolute dream. Sessions like this are why I do what I do.


I’m already counting down the days until their Carmel wedding—if it’s anything like their engagement session, it’s going to be unforgettable.
