There’s something just so sweet about young love. Meeting your “person” while you’re still trying to figure out who you are, and then being able to grow up together is so sweet! Brooke & Tony met while they were at school. Both being students, they really got to know each other through their inexpensive dates […]

Balboa Park Engagement | San Diego, CA I have mentioned before that I have a love/hate relationship with Instagram… and social media in general. My job is photography, but my real full-time job is as a “trying-to-figure-out-SEO-ninja.” But, if I’ve learned anything in my first full year of business as a Wedding Photographer, it’s to […]

Something many of my clients don’t know is that 2019 was my first official full year in business! I’ve “taken pictures” (whether portraits or weddings) for more than 10 years, but not seriously, and definitely not consistently. I picked up my camera and started shooting in 2017, and people noticed. That autumn I began second […]

I first met Rebecca & Dan at Stephanie & Levi’s Wedding. Becca was a bridesmaid, and Dan was at the wedding early to just hang out and enjoy the day! Something tat was a bit different about Stephanie & Levi’s Wedding, was tat their entire bridal party watched the First Look Session from a nearby […]

It’s always fun when a client inquires about my Photograpy completely out the blue. I don’t pay for marketing/advertising, and most of my clients come through word-of-mouth referrals or Instagram. However, every once in a while I will get a referral from another photographer! I truly believe in community over competition, and creating relationships with […]

Ask any small business owner how they feel about social media, and you’ll probably get a similar response from all of them.  They HATE it.  Like, HATE IT! But we all know it’s necessary in today’s high-tech world, and if nothing else… it’s free advertising!  I think most of us struggle with knowing what to […]

I am still swooning over the Laguna Beach Styled Shoot I attended last month… As promised, here’s part two!                                                                         […]

  When I was 15, I received a special blessing. In it, it talked about how most of my gifts and talents as a person wouldn’t present themselves until I became a mother. Well let me tell you…. Being their mom is HARD. I cry now. I was never a crier. And now I cry […]

Here’s a little known fact about me.  I was engaged when I was 22… and not to Chandler. (Insert audible gasps!!!)  Yes, to someone else.  And while I’m so grateful it didn’t work out, the thing I did want to mention about it was that my Grandpa took our engagement photos in his backyard.  Let me repeat […]
