I have been really looking forward to sharing this bridal shoot on the blog and today is the day! This shoot was a collaboration with my favorite bridal shop in San Diego, Elle Bridal Boutique. We share a studio loft in what is home to downtown San Diego’s, Lofty Wedding Collection. The full collaboration includes myself, Elle, the amazingly […]

The incredible team at Adorations Botanical Artistry were incredibly generous to have me featured on their blog this week! I had the honor of meeting the owner of Adorations, LaVonne Crawford, over a year ago and her attention to detail left a real impression on me.  She infuses deep passion and constant creativity into her work and it really […]

            Katie and Michael are truly an incredible couple with a romantic story. If you missed their Malibu Engagement Session, take a look at their Hollywood hills adventures!        They got ready overlooking the beautiful San Diego harbor on Shelter Island. It was bright and warm on this December morning with a fresh breeze […]

Pulling Back The Pages Writing has always been something I’ve enjoyed doing. The idea of sitting down with a paper and a pencil (or a laptop, if I’m being honest) and transporting a thought to an audience of readers always fascinates me. It’s not the act of writing that I’m particularly drawn to or the struggle to write […]

Exploring Washington and British Columbia There’s no question that my wife Meg and I absolutely love to travel. The travel bug that we picked up when we met on a study abroad trip continues to draw us across the globe with eyes wide open. In these early years of our marriage, it has been such a […]

       Ellie and Dave are literally perfect for each other. They both love each other like crazy and share so much in common. Ellie already had Dave’s attention but when he found out she was a Green Bay Packers fan, she pretty much sealed the deal!        She loves Dave’s sense […]

       I love this family! So much energy and spark for life. Connection and communication is such a big value in the Ching Family and I loved watching how these things came out in their Family Portrait Session!        One of their afternoon traditions is to walk through the neighborhood to the local […]

       The Allen Family is one that after spending time with, you just feel incredible, grateful and loved. They take care of people really well and ask questions that make you feel known. This family portrait session in San Clemente couldn’t have happened on a more perfect October day. The skies were clear and the ocean was warm […]

       I have had the privilege of knowing Katie over the years through our passions for music. She not only has an amazing voice but a huge heart for those around her. Katie’s love for singing led her to a conference of artists and creatives alike where she found herself harmonizing with a cute boy from […]

       Spending time with Kelly and Will is like reading a really, really good book. It’s entertaining, draws you into something deeper and leaves you wanting to read more at the end of each chapter. They both have contagious personalities that are compassionate and hilarious.        Will is so good at thinking outside […]

       During their family vacation in beautiful San Diego, the Ruschilling Family shared a perfect morning down at sunset cliffs. Calling the midwest home and recently becoming Washington transplants, the warm sun and ocean breeze was the perfect combination for this sweet family’s time in this breathtaking stretch of Southern California. The vintage travel suitcase was […]

Megan and Todd come both come from very athletic backgrounds. After deeply investing in collegiate sports over the years, volleyball & basketball, investing in each other for life simply came naturally. This day was full of sweet moments – it was a perfect, warm, sunny day and made for bright crisp photographs around every corner. Seeing these two […]
