When is it not a good idea for a beach engagement session? Answer: Never! I was so happy that I was able to do Eduardo and Noel’s session before they head back up to school in Idaho. (I am a little jealous. Have you ever been to Idaho during the summer? It is so beautiful!) […]

My whole heart was so happy to shoot John and Eryn’s wedding at The Pond at Casey’s Orchard in Redlands. Because of the Coronavirus they had to postpone their April wedding to July.

The Coronavirus won’t stop love! Although, it did change all of their plans and their big ceremony and reception have been postponed to an unknown date.
