Documenting your Bay Area events and intimate ceremonies through my timeless and documentary style lens

Hi, I’m America — the human behind the camera and the energy on the dance floor. I'm based here in the San Francisco, Bay Area. I get excited about just about everything, I go with the flow, and believe the best photos happen when you’re fully being yourself.

I’m usually the first one cheering you on, laughing with your people, and sneaking in the moments you didn’t even realize were happening. I’m here to document your story as it feels — joyful, real, and a little bit magical.

"Best Photographer! Very responsive, made this as easy as can be. Showed up on time, delivered pictures when she said she would. All amazing pictures, lots of pictures for the value. Thank you so very much, could not have asked for more!"

"Wow, I could not have been happier with my experience hiring America. She came and photographed my wedding ceremony at the Marin court house and did an amazing job. She was super responsive beforehand and came prepared to the location with al different photo locations and poses to try. Her enthusiasm and excitement on the day also made the picture-taking process so enjoyable. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need."

"We are so glad that we chose Hearth and Haven Photography to capture our wedding ceremony! America was professional, punctual, flexible, diligently took photos of all the things we requested, was friendly to us and our guests, and most importantly: the photos look amazing!! 🤩 We are very happy with the end results, which captured the day perfectly and made it look super professional. We had given America, the photographer, a list of requested photos and people, and she immediately jumped in and captured everything. We highly recommend Hearth and Haven and will be hiring America again."
