about anchor & pine

Anchor & Pine Collective offers a collection of services inspired by the outdoors: photography, film and adventure.. Specializing in elopements, micro weddings, portraits, product and branding shoots for outdoor and travel brands, as well as retreats, I capture authentic moments that celebrate nature and connection.

As part of my commitment to preserving the wild spaces that inspire us, 5% go back to public lands to public land conservation organizations. Public lands are more than just places—they are sanctuaries where we play, find peace, and reconnect. By protecting these landscapes, we ensure future generations can continue to explore, adventure, and be inspire

My inspiration comes from my time spent in stunning landscapes from the ocean to the forest. I would love to be considered as your photographer! My current home base is San Diego, California, but I split most of my time between Oregon and California for photo shoots. I look forward to meeting you!
