Darling little Julia is growing bigger! You might remember her from her newborn session a few months ago — now look at her! When she smiles it just makes me melt. :)

I don’t shoot family/lifestyle sessions as much as I do weddings, but I am so thrilled when I do because it is such a enjoyable time with some beautiful people. Especially when there is baby in tow! It’s even more fun when I get to see the progression of people’s lives, and the growth of a child. Such a wonderful thing that I am blessed to do. :)

a few years later + wedding dress + two kids + finger paints = <3

. . . . . . . . . .

When Addie had contacted me with her idea of a trash the dress/lifestyle session with finger paints and her two kids, I LOVED it! It was so fun to see these two again, with their beautiful children in tow. It was a grand time, and I’d do it all over again. <3

Taryn & Jeff are two fun, silly & energetic videographers from Arizona whom I had the pleasure of working with over the last year at two weddings (one of them being Anna & Rex!). They are starting to branch their business out to Southern California, so they asked me to photograph them to promote their new expansion. I’ve had a great time working with these two both behind the camera and in front and am excited for them in their new venture!

what a cute little bundle julia is! i am so thrilled to have gotten the chance to meet this little one, and can’t wait to continue photographing her over the next year as she grows. :)

jasmine & scott . {san diego engagement / lifestyle session}

amazing, amazing, amazing people + style galore + a day filled with exploration and fun = <3

. . . . . . . . . .

I heart these two like no other. Jasmine & Scott are two friends of mine that I cherish dearly, and love them to bits. (Jasmine is the lovely lady who often photographs my Facebook & Twitter profile images, and is a fantastic graphic designer & photographer herself.)

Since they were already technically married, we decided to make it more of a couples/lifestyle session, than a regular engagement session. I spent most of the day with these two, going to their favorite locations in the little area they live, Normal Heights. We walked around the neighborhood and went to furniture shops, popsicle shops, food spots, and best of all, their home.

There is definitely something to be said about shooting in a location that means something to the couple.

Their wedding, which was this past month, proved to be fantastic and quite possibly the best weddings I’ve ever been to. Filled with joy, love, and most of all – wonderful human spirits. I’ve fallen in love with just people again thanks to all the wonderful souls that were there.

clouds + bunting + birdies + my beautiful cathy + aven = <3

Before Aven came into this world, the lovely Cathy & I danced around in the leaves & between the clouds. It was a lovely time and I’m so glad I was able to capture that time in her life for them. <3

My dear Cathy has gone from a very happily engaged gal, to a gorgeous stunning bride, and now is a mom-to-be! Her due date is drawing near and we can’t wait for baby Aven to arrive. <3 Here’s a little day-dream filled teaser for now <3

I’ve known Kit and Salina for a long time now, and was thrilled when they decided to come and visit San Diego and while they were here, they also did a lifestyle session with me! I hope you enjoy the lovely images we created :)

Meagan, who is a friend of mine and is also my fabulous makeup artist for boudoir sessions asked me to photograph her family when they were in town in San Diego. This blog post is so way overdue, but I just had to post this wonderful family :) (I’m trying to catch up from last year, I really am!)

& if you need makeup for weddings, shoots, or anything else, you should send Meagan an email! ;) She is amazing.
