These four cuties started kindergarten together last year and continued on to 1st grade together this year!  (See last year’s photos at here).  I hope that over the years they will stay friends and we can continue to get beginning of the year photos together.  Imagine if they had photos every year until they started […]

We’ve had a lot of wonderful, fun guests visit us this summer.  That is an added bonus of living in California–it’s a great vacation spot!  We got to have some cousins come stay with us, and while they were here the girls wanted to do makeovers and photos!  So of course we did!  They were […]

Sabrina and Mark met through an online dating site.  I’m pretty sure Mark fell in love the first moment he layed eyes on Sabrina.  She is a knock-out.  Her giggle and smile are contagious!  They are sooooo happy together, pleasant to be around, easy-going, fun and totally in love! Can’t wait for their wedding in […]

Karren is easily one of the sweetest, most unselfish people I have ever met.  She is the second youngest of seven children, with the last daughter having Down Syndrome.  I bring that up because as I have watched Karren, I have been able to witness how caring she is through her interactions with her sister […]

A few months ago, Stephanie (baby sister in the blue shirt) contacted me out of DC where she lives to inquire about photographing her sisters, mom and herself.  They were all going to be in California celebrating their mother’s 70th birthday with spa treatments and wine tasting.  What a fun week huh?   You can […]

Sherene and Scott anxiously awaited their wedding day at the Goldy Lewis Center, as Sherene thoughtfully and carefully planned out every single detail of her special day.  And it was IN-credible. No joke.  This girl can light up a room.  Together they can light up the world.  Their happiness is infectious, their genuine kindness refreshing. […]

Meeting Alycia and Alan for the first time at their engagement session was a fabulous experience.  I could tell from my interactions and their personalities that they were a special couple.  The session was fun and you could feel how much they not only loved each other, but respected each other as well.  Little by little […]

Ashley and Kyle chose to get married at historic Hotel Laguna on the beach!  Being my first beach wedding, I was ecstatic to say the least.  Kyle told me that the most anticipated moment of their wedding day was Ashley’s walk down the stairs and down the aisle.  She certainly didn’t disappoint!  As you can see […]

These wonderful families got together for what may be the last family photo for a while.  Shannon and Ted (with the two children) just moved to Utah while Brittany and Matt (young couple, both with dark hair) will be moving to New Orleans in three months!  Gina and Bill (dark-haired woman and strawberry blonde man) […]

Dannie and Scott literally tied the knot when they had their first kiss as a married couple!  (You’ll see in some photos to follow!)  Their wedding was a full-on country, barn wedding held at the amazing Red Barn Ranch in Pauma Valley.  Deanna and her crew from DNT Elite Events carried out the beautiful wedding, and […]
