When this adorable family first contacted me about a beach family photo session I was excited. But quickly I was getting the full picture. Early morning beach session, WAY down in Ocean Beach. Eek. I was pretty hesitant. Ocean Beach? At 6:30 in the morning??   Ummmmm…  I decided to reach out to photographers more […]

Styled Outdoor Boudoir in Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve, San Diego, CA

Sometimes as an artist you get a vision in your mind that just screams to be executed. In my musical mind, it’s often a song. It nags at you and pokes and prods until you’re fixated and you cannot ignore it any longer. This styled outdoor boudoir shoot in Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve was this project for me.   I […]

When this gorgeous expectant Mama said she wanted this years’ family photos to be on a local Encinitas beach, I was super excited! We had so much fun playing around at last year’s session.

A little over a month ago, on my own 5-year anniversary, I had the honor of capturing another couple’s sweet “I Do’s”!  Working alongside Melissa Madden, I got to bask in the memory of my own most special day! The couple chose The Cape Rey, a Hilton Resort in picturesque Carlsbad, CA.

Outdoor Bridal Boudoir

Filed in:

Outdoor Bridal Boudoir in Los Peñasquitos Preserve. At my bachelorette party, I was already 17 weeks pregnant with my son, so obviously, drinking was out, and I’ve never been a huge club girl, so instead, I asked my Maid of Honor if we could rent a gorgeous hotel suite and hire a boudoir photographer to […]

When I first met Melissa + Yaron for tea down in Ocean Beach, we talked about their wedding plans. She wanted to elope. He wanted a big, elaborate ceremony and party with all of their family and friends. In true compromise form, they settled on an intimate ceremony up in beautiful Palomar Mountain. One thing […]

Aloha Baby! Aloha is one of those words that has so many meanings, and also just one. It is used to mean affection, compassion, mercy, hello, goodbye, peace, and love, sometimes all at once.

But when this adorable bride reached out with an idea of doing something a little different for her engagement session.
