I don’t chase perfect poses. I chase the glance you forgot I was there to catch.

IN THEIR WORDS

“As two people who are incredibly camera shy and usually very uncomfortable being photographed, Missy made us feel at completely at ease.”

BEHIND THE CAMERA

Hi, I'm Missy.

I'm a hopeless romantic, a devoted introvert, and a competitive paddler based in Santa Barbara — a place I genuinely never get tired of.

I've photographed hot air balloon proposals over Cappadocia, sailboats in the Mediterranean, and windswept cliffs at Jalama. Every location is different. The feeling I'm chasing is always the same. Life is fleeting and precious. Photos aren’t just pretty pictures. They are ways to capture the big, the small, and the in-between meaningful details of your life.
