       Sarah & Billie are two pretty special people. They both met while Sarah was attending college in Orange County and Billie had just started college in San Diego. Though they were two hours apart, Billie drove up the coast and showed up at Sarah’s apartment with one of their mutual friends. After […]

        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 […]

        What a beautiful day with Brooke & Nathan at the Old Point Loma Lighthouse! We explored the cliffs at the bottom which overlook the Point Loma tidepools and the Pacific Ocean. Then we made our way up to the lighthouse where the rain lightly sprinkled. I always love a bit of […]

       It was a real privilege to photograph Kellyn & Taylor’s engagement session! I met Taylor when we were about 12 years old – We played on the same Little League baseball team, went to the same church and climbed Half Dome in Yosemite National Park. He’s been a great friend over the years and I’m really grateful […]

       With their love for the outdoors and weekend getaways to Temecula, Keys Creek Lavender Farm was the perfect spot for their engagement session!        Mario & Kelsey have been friends since grade school. They met in geometry class and though shy in those early years, they remained friends. During their sophomore year, Mario took a leap and […]

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 […]

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 […]
