Izzy Westfall

Photographer · Filmmaker

Soft light. Real moments.

Hi, I'm Izzy. I make portraits, wedding stories, and short films from a little studio in Northern California. My favorite kind of photograph is the one you didn't realize was being taken — the half-second before the laugh, the hand on a sleeve, the look across a room.

Hello

A little about me.

I picked up my first camera about a year ago, mostly because my husband John kept putting his into my hands. I thought I was just helping him out on a shoot — turns out I was learning to love something I didn't know I'd been missing. A year in, it's officially the thing I want to spend my life doing.

I shoot mostly portraits, couples, and weddings, with a soft spot for anything that lets me work with natural light and people who don't mind being honest in front of a camera. I'd rather make ten images that mean something than a hundred that look like everyone else's feed.

Outside of stills, I co-create short films with my husband John under our studio name, Westfall Visuals. Our most recent project, BESIDE HER, is a short narrative film that means a lot to me personally — you can watch a preview of it on the Film page.

Want to work together?

Most of my sessions start with a quick email or a phone call. I love hearing what you're hoping for — whether that's a wedding day, a family session, branded portraits for a small business, or something a little more out of the box.

I take on a small, intentional number of full projects each year so I can give each one the attention it actually deserves. If you've found your way to this page, you're already most of the way there.

The fastest way to reach me is at izzy@westfallvisuals.com or by phone at 925-915-7369. I respond personally to every message and I promise I don't bite.
