I had the pleasure of photographing Kristen & Steven’s wedding back in 2015, so to be able to celebrate their love with an anniversary session six years later was such a special treat.  The two lovebirds both got dressed up in their wedding attire which was very special to them, including Kristen’s Claire Pettibone wedding gown.  We […]

These two were such a joy to photograph. They compliment each other so well, and we had the best time during their engagement session in Rancho Santa Fe.  The talented Jane of Blue Pansy Floral created this beautiful bouquet for Olivia, which was such a beautiful addition. Olivia & Geoffrey are actually getting married in […]

If you know me, you know I love lavender.  A few months ago, the talented Erica Streelman took our family photos in a lavender field, and let’s just say I was in heaven!  It smelled so good and I loved the time there I got to spend with my little family and dear friend.  Thank you Erica […]

I photographed Amy & Kenny’s wedding a few years back so when they reached out to me asking if I would take their maternity photos I was beyond thrilled.  These two are such a sweet pair and I am so excited for them to meet their beautiful baby girl very soon.  Congratulations Amy & Kenny.  […]

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 […]

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 […]

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, […]
