Yup– you wouldn’t think I grew up in sunny San Diego, but my soul truly belongs in the forest and in the mountains. Nothing makes my heart quite as happy as foggy mornings in the woods or glowing orange/pink sunsets in the mountains! I absolutely love exploring national parks all over the country but if I had to pick my favorites would have to be Mount Rainier and Sequoia (who can really choose am I right??) Visiting every national park is definitely on my bucket list!

We met freshman year of college at Boston University as chemistry lab partners! After spending hours on lab reports together and finding other excuses to hang out we became inseparable and the rest is history! We both finally graduated last year with degrees in Mechanical Engineering (crazy I know!) and while I’m an engineer-turned-photographer, Oleg is a bad ass engineer and works at a company that builds rockets (there’s never a subtle way to say explain that… haha)

We live in Los Angeles together now with our two fur babies, General Sherman and Sequoia and we’re way too proud cat parents haha. There’s absolutely nothing we love more than traveling together! When we were in college we studied abroad in New Zealand and then traveled all around Southeast Asia afterwards. We never stop talking about our adventures from that time and we’re always planning our next epic trip!

Funny story about how we ended up with two cats. A couple of years ago we took a road trip up to Sequoia National Park. We were staying at an airbnb right outside the park in Three Rivers and one night out of nowhere these tiny little kittens the size of my hand came crawling into our backyard! We waited to see if their mom would show up but when she didn’t we decided to take them in! And hence the names Sequoia (obviously named about the park) and General Sherman named after the General Sherman Tree!

+ Sabrina Kaye is actually my real first and last name. A lot of people think Kaye is my middle name or a pseudo name that I just made up!

+ I’ve been to 23 countries and counting! I can never pick an absolute favorite but a few of my favorites are New Zealand, Iceland, Italy, The Netherlands, and Thailand!

+ I’m half Bolivian on my mom’s side!

+ I’m obsessed with interior design, planning road trips, hanging out at the beach, eating yummy food, traveling around the world and of course taking photos of adorable couples!

You gotta start somewhere right? It never crossed my mind to turn photography into my job but once I started photographing couples I completely fell in love with every aspect of it! It still feels so wild to me that I get to photograph rad couples and travel the world for my job but I feel so lucky every single day! I absolutely love becoming friends with all my couples and being a part of so many special moments! I wanna know all about you and your story so come say hey and let’s make some memories!
