Hi, I’m Ali, I use pronouns she and her, and I am a Santa Cruz-based wedding, family, and life style photographer. So how did I become a photographer? It is the space where all the things I love come together: people, celebration, play, story-telling, creativity, and art. When I am behind the camera I feel the most alive because I have the opportunity to observe and capture what makes people and the human connection so beautiful. Doing this without a camera just makes me seem creepy and I’m already trying NOT to be awkward and hold it together in public so why not just bring a camera?! 🤣 Anyhow, I look forward to meeting you, laughing together, and capturing all your special and silly moments.
