Lifestyle sessions are some of my absolute favorite things to capture as a photographer. A family lifestyle session is special because it showcases the raw and true reality of what it is to be a family. A family with small children in the home, at that! The messes that need cleaning (eventually), the endless energy, […]

What better place to have a family photo session with a mama and her sons than a bowling alley? Mariah and her sweet boys are long-time friends of mine. We’ve known each other for years, and we even adventured to the UK together last year (before Covid hit, of course.) You can check out those […]

I love a good family lifestyle session! Would you believe me if I told you that I’ve been capturing this beautiful bunch’s family photos for YEARS? I’ve known the Plate family for over 10 years. We met at church, and I’ve had the absolute pleasure of watching this family grow and grow. See, this right […]

This beautiful couple decided to celebrate 10 years together with a sweet little anniversary photoshoot. Bianca and Joshua also wanted to include their daughter and make this an anniversary/family photo opportunity, which I thought was just a genius idea. I actually took this couple’s photos a few years ago when Lake Elsinore had the prettiest […]

A little old town maternity session with Karyssa and Tim. I love photographing them. They have so much fun with each other and we all get along so well. Karyssa and I had the same due date of July 13th, but her little boy Parker came 2 WEEKS EARLY. As I write this, I’m still […]

Oh how I love this family!! They are also so easy to photograph. We like to wander, let the kiddos take the lead and it always leads to some real good magic. Lat year we were at Mission Trails while Ashley was still pregnant with their little boy. This year headed to the Sweetwater River […]

Oh how I love these two!! I took Dan and Melissa’s wedding photos last year at Milagro Winery. Now they are welcoming a baby girl this month! We headed up to the Mt. Laguna mountains and enjoyed the last bit of the long green grass. I’ve never taken maternity photos up here so it was […]

One year from their wedding day, Chris and Amor are expecting a baby boy!! Baby Landon is one lucky kid! His parents are kind, fun and have so much love for each other. We took these photos in Coronado and the wind was really workin’ for us! It was really workin’ for Amor’s dress from […]

How I’m Feeling Physically…. I may be dancing in this photo, but most days you can find me relaxing on the couch. We take the dogs out for evening walks and I have added swimming into my exercise. Being in the water is AH-MAZING. It takes all the pressure off my knees. It’s such a […]
