This engagement session was extra special because Max is actually my little brother.  Getting to photograph him and the love of his life, Jenn, was such an honor and just so fun.  I was thankful they were up for an adventure hiking around the cliffs and beaches of Palos Verdes because I love how the […]

Lauren & Alex decided to have their engagement photos taken at a beautiful beach in La Jolla, California.  We were so lucky with the most beautiful light and colorful sunset which was the perfect way to end the session. I had so much fun walking the beach and getting to know the two of them […]

This editorial was inspired by the beauty and texture of lilac. We wanted to keep that theme present throughout the entire day – from the paper goods to the delicate appliques on the Calla Blanche gown. Unoaked did an outstanding job making sure each individual component came together effortlessly to fit our overall vision. Melissa, […]
