I’ve heard that the friends that you make when you’re in the “trenches” are some of the deepest and are the ones that last the longest. Kristin and I bonded years ago in such circumstances. When we met we were on the same team preparing to go to Rwanda on a missions trip. I called...

Lewis Family- Santa Cruz Family Portraits
Facebook is pretty great in a lot of ways (and not just because I get to see all sorts of fun videos of cats). I love that I’ve gotten to connect with people I haven’t seen for years, including family. My cousin Bobbi lives in Kentucky and I hadn’t seen her in at...
Eric & Kristen (and Miles)- Huntington Beach Engagement Photography
This engagement session was so fun. I think it’s the first time one of my couples has brought their dog. Eric & Kristen’s puppy, Miles proved to be very popular! People kept stopping us to talk to him and ask what kind of dog he is. He’s just so handsome and has such a great...
Ronda, Spain- A sweet surprise
You know… I realized that I never finished blogging my trip to Spain. So I’m determined to finish before the end of the year!
When last we checked in on this traveling duo, they were in Granada. We had decided that we would rent a car for part of our trip so we could see more...
Mark & Yasmin- Laguna Beach/Cannon’s Dana Point Wedding Photography
Wedding days can be exhausting, both for the couple and for me! Emotions run high and there’s a lot going on. I often feel like I’ve been hit by a truck when I wake up the next day. But Mark & Yasmin’s wedding was different. When I left, I felt refreshed. I don’t know if...
Aimee & Mike- Fullerton Wedding Photography
I think there’s just something romantic about trains. Maybe they make me think of old movies, I’m not sure. But I love to ride the train!
That’s why I love Mike & Aimee’s story. They met on the Metrolink! How great is that! Every day each of them would board the train on their commute to...
Desiree & Jeremiah- Hollywood/Griffith Observatory Engagement Photography
I. LOVE. THIS. SHOOT.
Meet Desiree and Jeremiah.
They’re awesome.
I’ve known Des since she was in 7th grade. I was her youth leader. She’s always been amazing. She went to Wheaton College in Illinois. While she was in college she went to some sort of leadership conference where she met a guy named Jeremy. Her impersonation of...
Judy & Rey- Downtown Los Angeles Engagement Photography
Judy & Rey are from New York. Brooklyn, to be exact. So you can imagine my surprise when I got an email from Judy saying they wanted to come to LA to have me do their engagement photos. What an honor! See, they wanted some of their photos to reflect their culture, so Olvera Street...
Presenting…. Amber Fox!- Fullerton Portrait Photographer
Y’all know how much I love living in Fullerton. One of the things I love most is the community I’ve been able to create and the friends I’ve made with neighbors. One of those is my friend Amber Fox. She is a super talented photographer who I met through the photo industry. This past year,...
Like a Fairytale!- Maravilla Gardens Wedding, Camarillo
I cannot say enough about this wedding. As soon as I met Scott and Vanessa I knew their wedding was going to be awesome. I loved hearing about how Scott proposed in a little boat during their European vacation. We talked way too long about our love of gelato and other delicious foods we’ve enjoyed...
