Heather and I used to work together performing at Disneyland and I have loved following her journey to become a mama.  She definitely didn’t have an easy pregnancy, but her strength and resilience did not go unnoticed.  Heather and her husband, Alec welcomed to their family a sweet baby boy and a precious little girl….twins!  […]

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 […]

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 […]

Happy Due Date to our son, Gatlin!  If you would have told me when I got pregnant, that he would be born 10 weeks early, I wouldn’t have believed you.  My due date was August 8th, 2020 and he ended up being born on May 29th! I can say without hesitation that our journey to […]
