Hi, I’m cece.

founder of Zephyr & Tide

In the last 14 years, this brand has evolved alongside my messy yet beautiful journey of being human.

Somehow I’ve had the privilege to photograph hundreds of humans from around the globe. Holding space as they share their story with me and in turn allowing the power of emotive imagery to express the things that sometimes cannot be said. Being a storyteller feels like watching the most beautiful film while simultaneously being the director. Your path crosses the paths of so many incredible humans as you share in the most raw and vulnerable moments of their life. You constantly remember how fragile and beautiful this life is. How there is no such thing as an ordinary moment. And how love is a story told through every human. It’s truly a career unlike anything I’ve experienced.

( My story )

a deeper look into my “why”...

I started my photography business at 16. I’ll save you from the many stories of me as a young girl with a camera around my neck and just get into the good stuff. This business has truly seen my evolution as a human like nothing else. From a young, aspiring artist thirsting for travel and new experiences, to a wife hustling to build the life she envisioned for her family, to a storyteller in her late 20s on the brink of a massive burnout, wondering where and how her story was lost along the way.

I took a hiatus in 2020 and stepped away from my lifelong passion and business. I felt trapped, like I was operating from a place that was no longer authentic or growing with me as a human. I felt overwhelmed by the noise of the industry, as if it were silencing my inner artist and I desperately needed to rediscover my “why”. I knew I had to either realign my brand or pivot into a direction that felt more authentic. So I took the next 3 years to play as an artist and give myself room to explore other facets of my soul. I jumped into other art mediums, became a certified herbalist, moved across the ocean, and eventually went back to school for psychology.

I’m still on my path of education, however I found myself feeling passionate about supporting others in a deep and meaningful way right now. As a holistic coach certified in depth psychology and somatic experiencing, I feel honored to support others in meeting and preserving their passion. I’ve personally experienced how doing the inner work contributes to a much more meaningful and authentic career path, facilitating a space for one’s artistic expression to truly become alive and take leadership in one’s life.

I believe there is no such thing as ordinary. I want to facilitate a space for humans to truly embody their expression and share their unique and beautiful story with humanity. I want to preserve honest moments and hold space not just for the monumental milestones but all of the in-between moments that weave this beautiful life together, making our experience much more meaningful and romantic.


No matter my offering, my values remain the same. To tenderly hold space and empower humans to radically embody themselves. To preserve the heartbeat of humanity through intentional storytelling and encouragement to never stop creating, loving, expressing, and living. In essence, you are my why. I think humans are the most fascinating form of art, awe, and wonder. And I believe every legacy is worth telling.

( My Philosophy )

you as my muse…

I facilitate a container for my clients to get radically honest. To speak their truth. To lean into the vulnerability with tenderness. To unapologetically take up space. And to deeply drop into how life feels. Art, music, and photography have consistently bridged the gap back home to myself again and again. And I want to offer that same experience to my clients. I want to celebrate the ordinary moments with you. From the single women who are dating themselves to the brides who are leaning into a transitional season in life. I want to empower you to take up space, celebrate your life, and plan a conscious wedding that feels so aligned. I want your photographs to be the evidence that you were here living and loving on this earth.

I want to honor your journey and facilitate a comfy space where you can lean into the tenderness and celebrate yourself through art that lights you up. So you can look back at your photos and feel so proud of yourself, the challenges you’ve grown through in life, and continue to accept all of the tender parts of you that deserve love.
