Tucked away in the rolling hills of Vista, California is the gorgeous Cal-a-Vie Health Spa.

We used Cal-a-Vie as our inspiration for the shoot, handpicking each additional element to showcase the already stunning scenery.  Plain Jane Posy created an […]

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.

Olivia & Geoffrey are actually getting married in […]
