Taking time to schedule our own family photos is something I never regret, especially now that we are a family of three.  A couple of months ago, my dear friend Erica Streelman took these photos of us and I just love them so much!  Gatlin changes so much each and every day, I feel like […]

Getting to photograph these two at the stunning Kestrel Park was just a dream.  It is always a pleasure getting the opportunity to work on this beautiful property!  The session ended with a stunning sunset in the golden hills of Santa Ynez and we got to capture their love in such a romantic way!  See […]

I wanted to take some 6 months (adjusted) portraits of our little Gatlin.  He is growing and changing so quickly so I am really trying to do my best about documenting these special moments!  I set up this little backdrop from Locust Collection in our home, dressed him up in this cute little outfit, and […]

This newborn session holds a very special place in my heart.  Brittney and I went to college together and reconnected over social media when I shared our son, Gatlin’s story last year.  Brittney became pregnant with twins soon after and started having some complications with her precious girls as well.  We connected over our similar […]

Fuji 400H has been my go-to film of choice for many years now, so when I saw Fuji’s announcement about it being discontinued I definitely was overcome with many different emotions. First I was in denial, then I became sad and frustrated because it is such a big tool I use to create the “look” […]

Whenever I get to shoot at the Mission San Juan Capistrano, I am one happy photographer!  There are so many beautiful backdrops to use.  Sarah & Blaine were such a joy to photograph!  The day started out pretty cloudy but at the end of our session, the sun decided to peek out and we ended […]

Lauren & Jonah’s love for one another is so apparent the second you meet them!  It was such an honor getting to work with them for their wedding, which ended up being the last wedding I photographed before the pandemic hit.  Also, I was secretly pregnant with my son which made it extra special.  Rancho […]

Today I wanted to share our baby boy, Gatlin’s completed nursery.  This has been a work in progress for a while now and it’s so special to finally see my vision come to life!  Back in April, we were admitted to the hospital and were there until we delivered our son.  He was just shy […]

As I type this glancing over at my sweet baby boy, I can’t help but become overwhelmed with emotion.  How can one tiny human be so strong-willed?  Our son, Gatlin’s fight to survive, both inside the womb and once he was born was simply astonishing.  Not just to us (proud parents over here) but to […]
