I had the joy of photographing this sweet family of three on the beach near their home in Encinitas last month. Their son James was the perfect little model for our shoot!

I wanted to give a special shout-out to my sweet, wonderful husband today on his 35th birthday. It has been such a joy to watch him grow into his role as the father of our two precious boys. He is a man of strong conviction and faith. He is also wildly talented and chooses to honor God in all he does. I am so happy to have been married to him for the last 7 years! He is my best friend and I am so grateful for this adventure we are on together. Happy birthday, my love!

Introducing sweet little Eleanor. I had the privilege of photographing Stephanie and Andrew’s engagement and wedding photos, and now an even greater privilege of watching their family grow!

I had the honor of documenting the wedding of Samantha and Thomas in a stunning private estate wedding last month. Every detail of their day was so beautifully and meticulously designed. More importantly, I have rarely seen two people more perfectly designed for each other! Congratulations, Sam and Tom – I wish you the most wonderful marriage!

We took the boys down to the bay for an afternoon a few weeks ago to visit some family that were town. You’d think a photographer would be great at taking a camera everywhere and documenting everything, but for some reason it seems to be the opposite! I’m trying to get better at taking everyday pictures of everyday life with our little kiddos. Colt loved playing in the water and sand, we can’t wait to go again!
