Hey There, It’s Us!

  • San Diego mermaid turned season lover. My favorite word is linger — and conveniently, it’s also my favorite activity. I'm happiest barefoot, in the sunshine, with friends giggling nearby.

    I’m most proud when I catch the sneaky moments — the ones where you're completely at ease, glowing in your truest self.

  • Your glass will never be empty when Matt's around — he's a burst of energy wrapped in human form. You’ll most likely find him surfing (land or sea), cheering on his friends the whole way.

    He’s got a sixth sense for the perfect shoot location, and nothing stops him from getting the shot — not even a miles-long hike straight up a mountain with all his gear in tow.

So then, who’s Poppie?

Poppie was our home for a year and a half as we chased the world. We built her from scratch, and she carried us through adventures, fueled our curiosity, and let us fully embrace freedom. Now she’s a weekender, still living her best life, and everything we create carries a little piece of the joy, wonder, and wanderlust she inspired.

What we’re made of

Play

We feel most at home when we’re tapping into our childlike selves - playing with friends, old and new, indoors and especially outdoors. We’re the ones jumping into every body of water we can find, always hoping for fresh powder days. We love working with clients who share this same spirit, and we aim to create shoots that feel just like that - playful, natural, and alive.

Our work is rooted in three values that guide how we live, create, and connect.

Windblown

We love embracing and capturing moments as they unfold. By creating experiences that our clients can step into naturally, the content doesn’t just look authentic — it truly is. That ease makes the shoot more enjoyable for everyone, and you can feel that joy and presence shining through in the photos.

Regeneration

We strive to be a source of regeneration — in each other’s lives, in our clients’ lives, and in our planet’s. By weaving sustainability into everything we do, our hope is simple: to leave everyone and everything we encounter better than we found it.
