One of the biggest questions my clients ask before a portrait shoot is, “What should I wear?” My first recommendation with attire is that the process of picking out your portrait session clothing should be fun! But it can be a challenge to know what is fashion-forward, timeless, and what looks good on […]

       Claire and Andrew met in the 10th grade after Claire moved with her family to California from the East Coast.

        Mikaela & David have a deep connection to family and their many friendships from over the years. They’ve traveled all over the world and lived in cities across the US, but have found home to be wherever they’re with each other. David’s family has shared a cabin many years in the […]

       Ashley & Jordan’s Cardiff-by-the-sea Engagement was the perfect combination of her Texas roots and their love for sunny Southern California beach days.

       Have you met a couple where, in those first few minutes of conversation, you very quickly pick up on a unique pattern of joy, honor and trust between them? That was my exact experience with Suzanne & Caleb. We had the privilege of  spending a perfect, sunny, summer afternoon together at San Clemente Wine Company. Then, we walked through the warm alley above […]

       Devin & John have a LOT to celebrate because they are less than 24 hours away from officially saying, “I DO!”        They both attended San Diego State and quickly adjusted to life as college athletes.

Jessica’s favorite flower is the sunflower. When Nathan proposed in December, he searched all over San Diego for them. After driving across town, he scattered them on a wooden bench, walked Jess down Sunset Cliffs and got down on one knee overlooking the Pacific Ocean where he asked for Jessica’s hand in marriage. When I found out I was going to be their […]
