Hey hey!! I'm Khali, and I'm so glad you're here!! My passion for photography started almost 20 years ago when I got a DSLR while in middle school. Since then, I've taken about a million photos of friends, family, my dogs, WEDDINGS, now leading up to owning my own photography business! What is life?!?!
I also got married in June 2023!! Being on the other side of wedding planning has really been an amazing experience. I now get the chance to see what my couples go through and apply that knowledge to my own client experience!
When I'm not behind a camera, I'm either watching Netflix with Ryan, taking a million photos of my dogs or reading a book!
You spend a HUGE portion of your wedding day with your photographer - possibly the most out of any other vendor!!
It's super important to me that you feel comfortable and trust me to help bring out all those authentic smiles and laughs.

Khali was our wedding day photographer, and we could not have been happier. From our engagement shoot to the day off Khali was a great communicator and hype woman. She made everyone feel so comfortable and beautiful and executed our personalized timeline. These are moments we will cherish forever and we are so thankful we chose her as our photographer for these memories. Thank you Khali!!! Do yourself and your wedding day a favor and choose her as your photographer 🤍

From engagement pictures to the wedding, everything she helped with and made our day perfect. She was so accommodating to our needs and wants. All the behind-the-scenes videos she took, and I got, I couldn't love more. I obsessively look at them and all the amazing pictures she took. We got our previews within 24 hours and can't wait to see the full gallery. Love love love her and couldn't be happier with our decision. The best hype girl and can make it look so natural. My husband and I aren't PDA people, but our pictures you would never guess that. Don't hesitate to book, do it!!!

"Khali shot my sister's wedding, engagement, maternity, my engagement, and my wedding because my entire family loves her so much. She is reliable, responds in minutes and her photos are amazing. I would literally recommend her to anyone in the world."
"she is the best wedding vendor i've worked with"

We love Khali!!! From start to finish, she made us feel comfortable and part of the process, while giving invaluable input into one of the most special days of our lives. She took the time to meet via video multiple times to get a sense of what was most important to us and help us guide the day. The end products are magnitudes greater than we could have even imagined and we are so happy to have such intimate documentation of our day. In short, we cannot say enough good things about Khali. She is kind, easy to get to know, spectacular at what she does, and a true gem to work with.
"Day of, she was our biggest cheerleader, making us feel confident and wonderful in front of the camera while still allowing our true selves to shine."

How do we even begin to describe how truly wonderful a Portland photographer Khali is?! She is personable, timely, professional, INCREDIBLY TALENTED, the list could go on and on. She made us feel so comfortable (something both of us were nervous about since we had never been photographed before), we were afraid it would be awkward, but there was literally never an awkward moment. She was able to capture our love perfectly and having these memories to look at for the rest of our lives is something I will forever cherish.
"From the moment we met Khali, we knew our decision to choose her to photograph our day, was the right one for us."

On the day of our wedding, she fit right in with the bridesmaids during makeup and she was able to make up for lost time after I was a bit late getting ready. And when it came to pictures, she made my husband and I feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera (my husband and I tend to be awkward when getting our photos taken). And the photos themselves? ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! I will cherish those photos forever. My husband and I cannot recommend Khali enough!

We were pretty nervous for the engagement shoot as we’d been dating for 11 years with barely any pictures to show for it, we were not super comfortable in front of the camera. Khali talked us through everything and gave us all kinds of prompts so we not only felt comfortable, the pictures looked effortless as well.
"I was overjoyed to find out that not only does she take breathtaking pictures, she’s also one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. "

Our Portland wedding planning had a huge wrench thrown in the week before our date. We had to switch ceremony venues very last minute. When I tell you I was panicking so bad… Khali immediately had a zoom call with me to iron out the details and location. She was so accommodating! Khali was by far my most favorite in our wedding team. Left this process with a friend AND a future Portland photographer for any major event! We will treasure these photos for the rest of our life. And so happy we chose her to document the best night of our lives!!
" it felt even more special to have someone on our team who understood our vision.

Any couples going through Khali’s blog and portfolio wondering if she’s your gal — she is. Every word is true and every smile is easy and genuine. Her photos are memories I will cherish forever and the bond she has built with us was completely unexpected but so appreciated.
"Having khali there with us on our wedding day was so special and only gets even more meaningful as the months pass and our friendship continues"
taylor + ryan
Not only are Khali’s photography skills amazing but she is the most genuine and kind human being! She is so passionate about love and captures it beautifully. Khali guides you the whole way through photoshoots and events so you can feel comfortable. Back when my husband was my boyfriend, we had a couples shoot. I remember him being nervous before what was his first photoshoot ever. During and after he kept saying how comfortable she made him feel! Our pictures turned out so wonderful that we had Khali shoot our engagement pictures on the beach in CA and our wedding in AZ!
"It has been so fun to not only have a badass photographer but a friend who has watched our lives change and our love evolve! "
