I LOVE PALM SPRINGS. One of my favorite places HANDS DOWN. The architecture is to die for and the light seems to always be perfect. Paulina & Drew’s photos are some of my favorites!

A tiny home in the middle of the desert? Sign me up!

The Dana Point Harbor is suuuuuuch a hidden gem!! The golden hour light was absolutely TO DIE FOR. Ahhh California you’ve done it again!

MJ & Lloyd’s wedding was for sure one for the books! Perfect light, killer details, and a celebrity attendee? What more could you need!

Drove down to San Diego for the day to hang with Erin & Collin and take some engagement photos! Started in Ocean Beach and hit up some fun murals and ended the day trying to catch the sunset at Sunset Cliffs. I love my job a lot!

Downtown Los Angeles has SOOOO many killer spots to shoot. We trekked around to some great rooftop spots for Melanie & Drew’s engagement session in DTLA to get those city views and they did NOT disappoint!

On the rare occasion it snows HEAVILY in Southern California, you best believe I’ll be there to snap some pics. These cuties really wanted to shoot in the snow, and since it snowed so close to home, it worked out perfectly!

“Clarisse has got the “eye” for the perfect photo. But more importantly, she knows how to make being in front of the camera approachable. You feel relaxed, at ease, happy. And that’s what life – and how it’s captured – should be all about, right!? What we got was a friend – we still keep in touch with Clarisse weekly – and memories that will make us smile for decades! “6 stars” if I could give it, Clarisse. Keep. On. Hustlin’!”

“Not only is Clarisse’s work creative, stylistic, and high quality, she is an awesome person. The first time we met her was at our proposal/engagement session, but we felt like we’d known Clarisse for years. Adam and I are both wedding photographers and videographers – we’re much more comfortable behind the camera. Clarisse put us at ease and helped us feel relaxed. More importantly, she helped us have fun!”
