It was such an honor to photograph the day my dear friend Minet married Jaime, the man of her dreams. It was a stunning and joyous affair at the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, incredibly planned by Couture Events. Everything was so beautiful but nothing compared to the bride as she radiated with happiness! Jaime and Minet, I am so incredibly happy for you both! Thank you for choosing me to document your wonderful day!

I had the great privilege of photographing my dear friend Kelli’s sweet boy Cru when he was just a week or so old. He is welcomed by adoring big sister Rylee into the Larson’s beautiful family.

It was such a joy to meet and photograph this sweet family of four just before they became a family of five only a few days ago! Baby brother Jones has now joined their beautiful family and I am so happy for these wonderful parents! Jannine is such a gorgeous mother, inside and out – she has such a sweet and joyful spirit and I’m so excited to meet their newest addition. Congratulations, Landan family!

I had the privilege of photographing fellow photographer Courtney Matranga and her beautiful family a few weeks ago in San Diego. She and her hubby David just celebrated their little boy Thatcher’s first birthday last week. He is such a sweetheart! These guys actually live just down the street from us so I’m sure Colt and Thatch will be playing together once they’re a little older!

I grew up going to Yosemite with my family every Easter break for about ten years. Our Easter break fell somewhere between March and April each year, so about 50% of the time we got snow during our visit. We had a motorhome growing up, complete with bunk beds in the back end, and memories of our annual trips to this beautiful park are some of my most vivid – and most favorite – from childhood. We hiked and biked and my parents made sure we were up bright and early every morning. We attempted Yosemite Falls on multiple trips when the three of us kids were somewhere between 6 and 12 years old… we finally made it to the top once I hit high school and no one had to be carried down haha.

It was so special to me to take Colt back to the place we did so many trips to as a family when I was young. What was even more fun – my family got to come too so it was like a three-generation affair. I’m sure it will get better and better in the coming years when Colt is more able to explore and do things. We arrived just after the Labor Day weekend and spent four nights in Lower Pines campground. It was not too crowded as most of the schools had started up again in the weeks just before our trip. We had really warm weather and everything was so dry. I think my favorite season in Yosemite will always be the spring when the falls and rivers are bursting with water and the air is brisk. We had such a good time, although four nights in Yosemite is too short! Can’t wait for the next trip. :)
