It was with so much joy that we photographed Bree & Chris’ dreamy wedding at The Villa San Juan Capistrano earlier this month! They are such a sweet couple that I have loved getting to know over the last year. Bree and Chris – you both looked so radiantly happy on your wedding and I’m so thankful you asked me to document it! Congratulations again. :)

I was honored to photograph Chelsea and Alex’ wedding at South Coast Winery in Temecula last month. It was a beautiful spring day and Chelsea and Alex both had such a peaceful spirit about them. They are a beautiful couple and I wish them all the best in marriage!

I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing precious Ella at almost two months old. She was such a sweetheart and I love how her personality shines through in these photos!

I had the privilege of hosting another 1:1 film mentor session a few weeks ago. It’s really fun to teach the ins and outs of the Contax 645 system – how to operate and shoot with it, load film, use a light meter, etc. I wish I had learned with hands-on experience like this rather than studying the outdated manual and going through lots of trial and error! This lovely family was so sweet to model for us for the shooting portion. They are expecting their little boy in mid-May and I am so thrilled for them!
