- I had not realized how long it had been since I have done a newborn shoot until last week. I forget all the feels I get - seeing teeny tiny feet and sleepy little darlings. Covid really did change how I had to do this newborn shoots though. My favorite was always holding the new babies, swaddling them, getting them to [...]

- I really thought that maybe this would be the last year I could attempt to do our annual undercover photoshoot. Surely my kids are getting much older and they won't want to keep climbing under my covers for snuggles and pictures. Boy, was I wrong! I think my kids enjoyed this shoot more than undercover photoshoots I, I[...]

- We met this sweet family when we moved into our new neighborhood last Valentines Day. Their oldest daughter babysits for us and my kids just adore her. We are always catching up at the pool or running into each other surfing at Doheny. I was super excited when they asked me to do their family portraits this year. We me[...]

- Mornings on the beach are my favorite! Especially around the holidays when everyone is trying to squeeze their photo session during golden hour. I was grateful that the Applebee Family was up for having our mini session in the 7 o'clock hour on a Sunday morning. The air was crisp, the tide was rolling in, but we had so[...]

It was time to upgrade Cruz out of his little toddler bed. Three years ago we updated Cruz's room to a big boy room. The move to California hasn't really let me get fully into decorating as we are still renting but I was excited to give him a big boy bed. We had to continue the surf theme as Cruz has taken so well to[...]

I explained to her that this would open so many doors for h[...]
