Inspired by people and their stories, I received my BFA in theater at the University of Southern California. My career began as the official tour photographer for Maroon 5, living on a tour bus and documenting 34 shows around the US. I then went on to work with artists such as One Direction, Charlie Puth, and Trevor Noah.

While capturing music was my starting point, my love for storytelling naturally expanded into capturing weddings and life's most meaningful celebrations. On tour, each show was fleeting, but weddings are once-in-a-lifetime. The emotions, the joy, the love-- that is what truly inspires me.





Hi, I'm Betsy. Los Angeles based wedding and lifestyle photographer

With over 15 years of photography experience, my passion is making others feel seen and celebrated! My style is colorful, joyful, and full of life! My goal is for my couples and clients to relive the day through their images. I am always chasing beautiful light, especially during golden hour. I am known for not only capturing the key portraiture, but the in-between candid moments. I have been lucky enough to photograph couples around the world, and have been featured in Brides, People Magazine, and the Knot.

How I got started

A spontaneous "Yes" to shooting a music festival led me to photographing the Maroon 5 tour

I started off documenting the artists around me, and shortly after...

Maroon 5 Tour, 2013

Austin City Limits, 2019

Outside Lands Music Festival, 2019

Adam Levine, Maroon 5 Tour, 2013

The experience of living on the road and traveling the country opened the door to five more tours, music festivals, celebrity shoots, and eventually weddings and events.

Over a decade later, my focus remains the same: preserving meaningful memories for people. I still feel the same thrill every time I pick up my camera—capturing life in all its vibrancy.

 I am truly obsessed with golden hour (with or without my camera in hand), and am always up for an adventure! 

You can often find me strolling around West Hollywood alongside my husband, son Weston, and Poppy.

Beyond the lens

I am well-versed in all lighting conditions—whether it's midday sun, golden hour, or nighttime. I carefully position you and adjust the lighting to ensure every shot is striking and visually compelling.

My approach is both fun and easygoing, yet highly attentive. I make sure you always look like the best version of yourself. I also believe in truly over-delivering, so you receive a collection of photos that exceeds your expectations.

Communication is key. When we work together, you can feel confident that every detail and moment is being captured. With years of experience, I seamlessly blend candid moments with posed shots, ensuring each image is crisp, vibrant, and meaningful. My positive, hands-on approach allows you to be fully present, knowing your vision is coming to life.

I treat every client the way I would want to be treated—pouring my passion and enthusiasm into every moment. My goal is for my couples and clients to relive their day through their images, creating a legacy for years to come.

I don't just snap photos - I subtly guide you so that each pose, background, and moment is naturally flattering

My approach

tangible works of art that leave a lasting impression.
