Such a great shoot! { La Jolla Family Photographer }

I had the privilege of spending the evening with a great family. They were a fellow Navy family, but Mr. B is stationed overseas. He was home on leave, and getting ready to go back to his duty station, so we got together to do their family pictures before his departure. Grandma was visiting from Montana and she was a great addition to the shoot as well. I loved capturing her running down the beach with her granddaughter.

The "B" family were all so much fun. Mr. B was hilarious, and his little boy was just as silly. It made for a very exciting shoot. Being knee deep in freezing cold water was ohhhhhhh so lovely......but I got the shot!!! :)

I really enjoyed my time at the beach with this family. Watching the love that this father had for his wife and children was beautiful. I left with a warm fuzzy feeling and sent Mrs. B a message to thank her for letting me spend some time with them. Her reply brought tears to my eyes. She said "......It felt good to leave his pending departure behind us and just laugh. Thank you for giving us that moment." That made my week. Thank you again "B" Family. God Bless you this holiday season. You will be in my thoughts.

Here are a few sneak peeks for you guys!

Jake & Jessica's Wedding {San Diego Wedding Photographer}

I had the honor of being a second shooter today at a beautiful ceremony. This couple was so sweet, and the bride was BREATHTAKING! Thank you to the Photographer and this family for letting me be part of this day. Jessica was amazing, so incredibly patient after everything that could go wrong did. I was so impressed with the way she held herself together and made the day awesome despite it all.

Visiting High School Senior {La Jolla Senior Portraits}

Preston was in town visiting family and I was contacted to do his Senior Portraits. He is from a small town in Indiana, and said that everyone else always does the same thing.......corn fields. He wanted something very different for his. So we chose La Jolla and had so much fun!

Another beautiful birth! {San Diego Labor & Birth Photographer}

Amazing experience! {San Diego Wedding Photographer}

Last weekend I had the privledge of being part of an amazing day. Barbara and Tony celebrated 10 years of marriage with a vow renewal ceremony. They are such an awesome couple, and part of a beautiful family including their own five children. Barbara is currently fighting brain cancer and the story of their last years took my breath away when she told it to me. I felt completly honored to be let into this extroidanary event. The love I witnessed between the two of them, and their family and friends still gives me chills. As I continue to edit the pictures I send up my thoughts and prayers to them as they continue their lives together. Thank you again for allowing me to be part of your day.

Two sweet kiddos! {San Diego Children's Photographer}

I did family pictures the other day for "J" and "K". Their children were so beautiful I asked their mom to bring them into the studio so I could get a few more shots. Little "A" is such a little charmer. He was very excited to be getting his pictures done again. And baby "E", what can I say, she is gorgeous! I am so glad I was able to spend a little time with them today.

Birthday Girl! {Oceanside Children's Photographer}

I was so excited when my friend Melissa asked me to take pictures of her daughter. Mya is BEAUTIFUL and Melissa is super talented. I knew that her outfit would be adorable (mommy made it), so I was excited to shoot her at the beach. Melissa is using the first picture in Mya's party invites! I am very happy with the way they all came out! Thanks Melissa for trusting me to take these pictures of your Princess.

Little Babies Everywhere! {San Diego Newborn Photographer}

I had the oppurtunity to spend some time with two handsome little ones this past week. I had read other photographers say that newborns are tough, and I found out for myself ITS TRUE!!! Everyone loves pictures of naked sleeping newborns, but these boys wanted to be awake and explore the world. It was nice to be able to get both awake and asleep pictures though. Here are the results.......
