SAN DIEGO It feels like just yesterday that I was photographing Ashley + Nick’s Willow Creek Ranch wedding! Now here I am photographing their San Diego maternity session almost a year later! I loved photographing Ashley + Nick’s wedding, not only was it a really beautiful wedding, but Ashley + Nick are just the best […]

LA JOLLA, CALIFORNIA There’s just something really special about an ethereal California beach elopement. California is famous in photography circles for our glorious light. It’s pours down and sun-drenches everything it touches and creates pure magic. Above all places, this light shines down the most on the shores of our beaches. This California light bathes […]

  JULEP VENUE, SAN DIEGO   Color. Not just any ole color. Lush and vibrant wedding color. Color has been a hotly debated topic in the wedding industry for quite some time. You either love it or you hate it. Candidly, I’m a pro-neutrals kind of gal. And so the plot thickens…I have been wanting […]

  BAHIA RESORT HOTEL, MISSION BAY   I’ve officially become obsessed with elopements, and I’ve become even more obsessed with elegant beach elopements like the one I photographed recently at the Bahia Hotel and Resort in Mission Bay. I shot two elopements last year, one at the San Diego Central Library and one on Coronado […]

  WILLOW CREEK RANCH, VALLEY CENTER   Ashley and Nick’s Willow Creek Ranch Wedding was an affair to remember! I loved every single detail of their gorgeous wedding! From couture seating areas that I’d want in my living room, to a custom dessert table with five different cakes! Their wedding reception was full of beautiful […]

SUNSET CLIFFS   When I think of Zach’s Sunset Cliffs surprise proposal to Kalee, one word comes to mind. EPIC. Most girls dream about the moment they get proposed to and wonder what it will be like. They kind of put it up there on a pedestal as one of the great moments of their […]

  QUIET OAK MANOR, JULIAN   This Quiet Oak Manor editorial was an absolute dream! Does anyone know where I can get a job just shooting editorials full time? That’s got to be a thing right?! I was so excited to be a part of this shoot because I knew the planning and styling was […]

TROCADÉRO, PARIS   Ahh Paris, the city of lights, love, and broken cameras. Oh yes, my friend, you read that right. We’ll get to that story a little later along with a recap of my Paris and London trip, but first let’s talk about these two! Nic and Ashley were honestly my favorite part about […]

SOLANA BEACH   We pretty much had the entire beach to ourselves during this entire anniversary portrait session on the beach and I was all about it! Jill and Mike are just the best. We had so much fun playing in the waves and taking pictures. I mean really, when is that ever not fun?! […]

BALBOA PARK, SAN DIEGO Carla and Ess traveled all the way from South Africa just for their Balboa Park portrait session with me! Okay, soooo that’s not entirely accurate, but I mean would you just look at these two, they were meant to be in front of my camera! (Insert so many heart eye emojis […]
