Journeys are what shape us. Every path we have taken is the right path because it has brought us exactly to where we are. Whether we’re skipping uphill or falling downhill, the path that life sweeps us in is exactly what was intended for us. For some of us, the path is hard to choose. We consider our options carefully, weighing all the possibilities. Whereas for others, we just whisk ourselves to whatever path feels right to us at that very moment.
Right now, my journey has taken me to Dallas, Texas. At least, for a few days. :)
About 9 years ago, I entered college for graphic design. About 7 years ago, I took my first photography class because it was a graphic design requirement, and fell in love. About 5 years ago, I second shot my first wedding. About 4 years ago, I graduated college and moved to San Diego to photograph weddings. About 3 months ago, I attended a workshop that changed my life & my photography. About a month ago, I entered in my first photography contest and won. And because of that, today I’m leaving for Dallas for a workshop that will, no doubt, change my life again.
& I look forward to the road ahead ;)
Thank you to everyone who has given me support on this journey… without you, my journey wouldn’t be as full.

I will be out of town from Wednesday, January 30th till Friday February 1st. I will be checking emails, so if you need to reach me immediately, please email me, otherwise I’ll get back to you all when I return! ;)
P.S. Don’t fear! Photo a day still goes on as I am away ;)
P.P.S. I jumped on the bandwagon and added a Twitter there on the bottom of the page ;) So you can keep up with me, of course!
So this post is long, long, long overdue!! Meghan, Scott and I headed out to Windansea beach a long, long time ago (in a galaxy far, far away… ;) ) and did their engagement shoot! I have to tell you, I don’t know how the heck all my couples end up being ridiculously good-looking, but they do! I honestly and truly can’t wait for the wedding you two, I am so thrilled! ;)
Courtney and I headed out and did a little mini shoot recently – I wanted to get some photos of her and also introduce you all to her because she’s become an integral part to my recent sanity! ;) Courtney, who has impeccable taste in music, has been helping around the office with everything and I couldn’t be more grateful. Since she’s been taking care of so much for me, I’ve been so much more focused on what I love the most – the photography! I couldn’t be more thankful, and don’t know what I’d do without her! ;)
She’s going to kill me for posting this one, but she describes this face as the “I don’t know what you’re doing, so I’ll just bite my lip”
Dreamy light makes me happy. :) More tomorrow! :)
