This Halloween elopement editorial gave me allllll the spooky fall vibes I needed! Around this time last year, a TikTok trend blew up of people putting pumpkins over their heads and taking photos in the woods. I wanted to add my own twist on the trend, and messaged one of my favorite wedding hair and makeup artists around, Sierra.

Jami + Malik’s Spring Yosemite Elopement The idea behind this Yosemite elopement editorial came when I sent a local photographer, Karen Vargas, a message on Instagram.

Get to know ME

With a heart for slowing down, I spend my days capturing photographs that let you feel the beauty of your story all over again. The way your little one laughs, the quiet in-between moments with your partner, the way love shows up in the smallest details—it all deserves to be remembered.

I believe in genuine connection, the comfort of being truly seen, and images that remind you how meaningful these fleeting days really are. My hope is that the photographs we create together become treasures you’ll return to for years to come.
