hi, i'm ruth
And i like to take photos...
Hey there! I'm a photographer who’s all about capturing life’s real, beautiful moments. I grew up in a small farm town where the quiet mornings and slow days taught me to appreciate the simple things—like the way sunlight streams through a window, the laughter shared at a family picnic, or the stillness in an orange sunset. These moments remind me of what’s important, and I bring that same appreciation into my photography.
For the last 10 years I've called sunny Palm Springs home, where the desert meets endless blue skies and golden light making for a gorgeous landscape. When it's not a million degrees outside, you’ll probably find me hiking the local trails, casting a line by the water, or unwinding with a good movie/show. I share my desert oasis with my loyal sidekick, my dog Chance, and a growing collection of plants that keep my home feeling like a little slice of green heaven.
natural ᛫ timeless ᛫ authentic ᛫ heartfelt
My photography style is natural, emotive, and infused with warmth. I’m inspired by golden light, earthy tones, and the raw beauty of nature. I love using soft, golden-hour light to create images that feel dreamy yet authentic to the moment. I blend candid storytelling with intentional posing to create images that feel genuine yet timeless. Whether you’re laughing with your partner, snuggling your child, or simply soaking in the moment, I strive to document your emotions and connections in a way that feels effortless and authentic.
I know it's not easy for most people to be photographed, especially in the more intimate moments, but I’ll guide you every step of the way to make sure you feel comfortable, allowing your unique personality and love to shine through. I’ll guide you with prompts, posing tips, and gentle direction so you’ll always know what to do.
I guarantee you'll feel a little awkward, but I promise, I am WAY more awkward so we're in this together.
Whether your backdrop is a stunning desert landscape, a cozy backyard, or a dreamy golden field, I’ll aim to create images that tell your story beautifully.
