the photographer who keeps it real - the girl you can count on to get your angles right. I’m a hands-on, high energy kind of photographer who’s always ready to jump in and make sure you’re looking and feeling your best — so if you’re after someone more laid back and behind-the-scenes, I might not be the perfect fit (and that’s totally okay!).

my approach to being your photographer is to catch you in your truest form; whether its a wedding, family, senior, or your brand.

Meet Sydney!

I'm a '90s baby, born and raised in Oregon! I've never been good at sitting still, so I've always worked at least two jobs. I've been in the photography world for 10 years now and a full-time photographer since 2021.

Along with photography, I'm also a dance teacher at the hometown studio I grew up in. If you count the years I attended there plus the years I've been a teacher, you're looking at 20 years. I'm chronically loyal and have serious FOMO! 

My S/O, Matt, and I live just outside of Salem along with our orange cat, Stu — who I'm obsessed with (if you haven't figured that out yet...). You might even see Matt hanging around at your shoot! We love road-tripping, trying new foods, and exploring new places. The eastern side of the state is definitely our favorite.

I’ve never believed in niching down my photography style. Instead, I aim to focus on each person’s unique story as it unfolds in front of me.

I want your photos to feel comforting, warm, nostalgic, and authentic — artistry inspired by your story.

I still wake up every day and can’t believe this is my real life job!!! I’m so grateful to be here, and I truly hope we get the chance to work together!

"One of my top priorities for our wedding was having beautiful photos to look back on and remember that special day with our loved ones for years to come. Well, Sydney went above and beyond what you could expect. She generously shared her expertise in the industry and gave so much advice - from tips for the beginning stages of wedding planning, to helping organize the timeline of day, down to learning the important family members that she didn’t want to miss a photo of. She really thinks of it all. " - Marissa R

 "I believe that one day she’s going to be so exclusive that you can only dream of hiring her to be your photographer. "
