ABOUT Pamela

When my dad was young, he traveled the world with a Nikon in hand. He passed along to me both his travel bug and camera. As a kid, I took pictures of everything from our road trips to Yosemite to my family members brushing their teeth (sorry, guys). Even though these images aren’t technically perfect—the old film camera developed a light leak over the years, not to mention I was about two feet shorter than my subjects—they are my most valuable possessions. They tell the story of a life well lived, a family well loved, and a daughter who felt compelled to remember it all.

This is my promise to you: to preserve your life milestones with the eye of an artist and the heart of a storyteller.

So both future you and future generations will see the joy and feel the love.

My story and approach

My career began in economics and policy, but I was always pulled toward something more creative—work in which I could immerse myself in the most beautiful parts of being human: love, and the way we remember it. I studied light, shadow, and composition. I learned what it takes to make a portrait that feels alive. But what I've come to value most are the human connections, the way a camera can bring people joy and give their memories a place to live.

My work blends editorial composition with documentary storytelling, shot on both film and digital. I care deeply about beautiful light and clean framing but never at the expense of real moments. My images are thoughtfully composed but never overdirected. For portraits, I'll guide you, giving you small adjustments, gentle prompts, and a few ideas to help you feel natural in front of the camera. For everything else, I step back and let your day unfold. The best moments happen on their own; my job is to be ready for them..

For me, photography is the most honest art form

I LOVE TO TRAVEL!

I got to visit Japan, New Zealand, and Bali in Spring 2026! I’m a huge Lord of the Rings fan, and it was surreal to see the Shire in person.

My fiancé, Blake

My favorite person, my home base, and a reliable source of silliness. Also the most supportive partner ever.

Our cats, Mika and Momo

You might get a surprise cameo from these two during our video calls. They’re in constant demand of snuggles, and I’m happy to deliver.

DElicious food

I’m still daydreaming about this Shio-Musubi with Shijimi clam miso soup in Matsue, Japan. I am one of those people with a phone roll full of food pictures, and I'm not ashamed of it.

“If a ray of sunshine was somehow turned into a person, it would be PAM. She is amazing. 

WOW. Our photos are beautiful! Pam must be a wizard, because she made even my bad angles look good! I’ve been obnoxiously obsessing over my wedding photos ever since she’s sent them (and I received them so quickly). I will cherish these photos forever.”
