After the wedding it seamlessly transitions into a perfect reminder of your wedding day that you can easily display and keep around.
Read MoreRead MoreWe had this amazing winter themed wedding (I love all things holiday and string/twinkle lights) planned for 12/19/20 but Covid had other plans. Most of my family is from South America, and due to the travel restrictions and the economic toll it took on them, they are unable to fly out and join us. And wanting to be considerate of safety of everyone, we decided to scrap the whole thing and just do something small in our backyard while we still have outdoor weather. We love halloween and figured a hallowedding would make for a fun story.
2020 is truly becoming the year we have to pivot and figure out how to safely do the things we normally do. This includes photography!

In order to protect not only my clients, but myself and the community around us, here are some measures I’ve started to take while photographing:
Read MoreSarah and Joe, along with a few close family members and friends, all gathered at the Airbnb on a totally perfect day in the mountains of Souther California. Amazing little details were worked into every corner of the day. The show stopping piece was a replica of the house from Pixar’s “Up” adorned with flowers and TONS of color.

Read MoreMaternity photos don't have to be boring! I always recommend doing something you love for your photo session. By a special kind of magic, Meggi was just at 9 months while I was home AND had honeycombs to spin. This was SUCH a fun and interesting way to document this special time in their life!
Read MoreRobyn is a total bad ass who still had abs at 9 months! Her husband was stationed overseas, so we used his flannel and cowboy boots to work him into the photos.
Read MoreWith masks at the ready, we met up at Lake Cuyamaca for their engagement photos as the world started to slowly wake up. This was such a great spot, as there were very few people around and we were easily able to get to private and beautiful places for photos. It’s such a great and easy spot to get epic photos without having to hike or work up a sweat. Sunset on the lake makes for the dreamiest light and I absolutely can not wait to come back to this spot.
