About

I'm a photographer who currently lives in the Santa Cruz area but grew up overseas. Having a different background growing up taught me to see people for who they are and want to know them for their own story. My style consists of lifestyle with fine art. I shoot with natural light, and capture moments as they happen without being intrusive. I want to tell your story, but also let you live it at the same time!

Simply the BEST

We loved having Ruth as our photographer. She is super laid back and so easy to work with. Myself and my now husband are not people comfortable in front of the camera, but Ruth made it so easy for both of us. Not only that, her laid-back, journalistic style helped us not feel like we needed to be posed in every shot, she was floating around the entire time taking shots, I am sure not even ones I am aware of. Her second shooter was also so laid back and easy going which is exactly what we wanted.
Photography is super important to us (prob the most important of the day) but I also didn't want to feel tied down, I wanted it to be easy and she delivered and put up with the craziness of the day. :)
We just got married a couple of weeks ago, so I am patiently waiting on wedding day photography, but if they are anything like our engagement photos I know I will be incredibly happy.
She is reasonably priced, includes a second shooter and engagement shots, very happy with our decision.

We loved having Ruth for our photographer! She was really easy to work with and her photographs are amazing. She captured our personalities and the emotion of our wedding day perfectly. Her price was really a steal, especially for the Bay Area. Our package came with the full edited album without any watermark, which we were really happy with since a lot of photographers make you pay extra to download your photos without their watermark! Would highly recommend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
