I hear it a lot, “I had a friend with a nice camera do our engagement pictures, so I don’t need one.” Or, “we feel really awkward in front of the camera, so we’d rather not do one.”  Or, “we already sent out our Save the Dates so we really have no need for one.”  […]

This sweet couple planned their Los Angeles Temple Wedding right!  The day went so smoothly and we had EXTRA time even after we went to a second location AND drove through Los Angeles.  I have seriously done dozens and dozens and dozens of LDS Temple weddings in my wedding photography career and this rarely happens, […]

Santa Barbara.  Do I need to say more?  No.  It was perfect.  The courthouse is such a gorgeous venue!  So historic and beautiful, I love California history!  Maybe it because I’m a California native, but the historic architecture is so unique and special.  It was so fun to mix this into their engagement session, that […]

The sweetest couple ever!  You can just look at them and you instantly love them.  I really am so blessed with the best clients, this year has been amazing!  Collin and Maryn were married in the Redlands Temple and their temple exit, after their ceremony, was my favorite ever!  Can’t you just see their happiness?

When Anthony emailed me about taking pictures as he proposed to his girlfriend, Katie, at Disneyland.  I was beyond excited!  THIS is the very definition of my self-described purpose as a photographer.  I want to capture special moments so my clients can be remembered perfectly forever.  This was so much fun!  I was so grateful […]

The second I met Brandon and Aurora in a little coffee shop in Pasadena I knew I would like them.  And I was right!  This wedding was so perfect!  An early August day in Camarillo was gorgeous!  So refreshing compared to the inferno where I live!  Spanish Hills Country Club was breath taking, with sweeping […]

Summer weddings at the Newport Beach Temple are some of my favorites.  Little known fact, when they announced that they were going to build the Newport Beach temple in 2001, I vowed that is where I was going to get married!  I grew up spending summers in Newport, that was my beach, and it was […]

It seems just like yesterday that I photographed Mike and Tiffany’s engagement and weddding.  I am so excited for them to grow their family and experience parenthood, it is pretty great!  And these 2 will make the best parents!  They wanted to do their maternity session where they had their first date, in Newport Beach […]

One of, if not, the most fun parts of my job is doing photo sessions at Disneyland.  Like I get completely giddy when I get to go!  This session was such a blast, I got to follow this cute family from Canada around Disney and take pictures of their last big vacation as a family […]
