Born and raised in Seattle, Ruby is a lifelong lover of the Pacific Northwest. With a deep appreciation for both discovering new places and finding the magic in familiar ones, she brings a sense of wonder to everything she photographs.

A devoted reader and anthropologist at heart, Ruby’s curiosity about people, their stories, and the way they move through the world naturally led her behind the camera. While her interests are wide and varied, none compare to her passion for capturing love in all its forms—whether it’s a senior glowing with pride in their accomplishments (as they absolutely should be!) or couples, new or seasoned, celebrating their connection in the most genuine and joyful ways.

At Mahlers Photography, Ruby’s goal is simple: to create images that feel honest, intimate, and full of heart—photographs you can return to and relive again and again.
