10.20.15 Family - Jenn & Michael

Murrieta, CA

There's nothing I love more than a simple family session with old clients. Seeing their children grow up through pictures is really amazing. Jenn and I have known each other since before we had any of our children, so it's fun to watch our families grow. Little Jake is always my toughest client, but he's so sweet and spunky! This year he just would not budge on that smile -- but that's just his age -- I'll get him next year! ;)

10.15.15 Head Shots - Taylor Ann

 Temecula, CA

This year I unexpectedly entered the world of dance -- with that I have met some of the most talented and beautiful women I've ever had the pleasure of meeting! This beauty, Taylor, did not choose this shot above for her portfolio because she saw her "technical flaws" from the dancer's eye, but she looks flawless to me -- I would hire her! It was such a neat experience shooting a dancer and I cannot wait to do it again!

10.12.15 Children - Willow

Carlsbad, CA

Willow is 2! I've taken many pictures of little Miss Willow since her debut into the world. Her family has been close family friends of ours for over 20 years, so to have this little treat to document her life has been so sentimental. 

8.23.15 Maternity - Melissa & Curt

 

Murrieta, CA

Melissa & Curt are new-ish friends of mine. They ride bmx with my hubby and his whole crew so when Melissa found out she was expecting two things ran through my mind -- 1) Crap! My favorite person to shoot at their sessions was her! and 2) OMG I have the best idea for a maternity shoot! Haha. We've waited months and months to finally shoot, and here's the belly! Cuter than anyone could even imagine! Baby G is on his way and he has the best parents! They couldn't be more in love with each other, or any more in love with him! Congrats you guys! 

Feel free to make your debut anytime Baby G, your momma misses her bike! ;)

7.26.15 Engagement - Lindsay & Zac

Temecula, CA

Lindsay and Zac have been one of my favorite couples to ever work with! They are naturals at posing, extremely affectionate with each other, and just a hoot to hang out with. We shot at their wedding venue on a cool Sunday evening, which could not have been more perfect at the end of July. I am so excited to shoot their wedding in March 2016! Congrats Lindsay & Zac!!

7.25.15 Bridal Suite - Heidy

San Diego, CA

A good friend of mine, Sheryl, was a bridesmaid in a wedding for a girl friend from college over the weekend. As a wedding gift for Heidy she asked me to come and shoot the girls getting ready since she wouldn't have a photographer until later into the day. It was so fun watching everyone getting all glammed up, recover from hang overs, and meet six year old Stella who was excited to see her mommy and daddy getting married! Congrats to the whole family <3

7.15.15 Engagement - Brittney & Dusty

 

Temecula, CA

Brittney and I have been friends for a few years now. I met her while she was working in a bagel shop here in town and I would waddle my pregnant self down there for a bagel, only to notice she was also expecting! We've watched each others babies grow up, which has been such a treat! Brittney and Dusty are such sweet people and have the cutest little daughter, Serenity. They just announced to family and friends that they are expecting their second child in January! Perfect timing for their fairy tale wedding that I will be shooting in May of 2016! Congrats you guys! 

6.28.15 Engagement - Bryan & Emily

Julian, CA

Bryan and Emily are dear friends of ours and I was thrilled when she asked me to shoot their engagement and wedding. They are the sweetest couple and have been together for almost a decade. As most of our friends would say "It's about damn time!" I'm more than thrilled for them and very excited with their final engagement portraits :) Mazel!
