- 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[...]

My heart is feeling so many emotions today. The biggest emotion it is feeling is HOPE! I had a talk with Sienna about what this means to her to have a Woman in the White House in such an important role! We spoke about it and she asked why I was crying so much. I explained to her that this would open so many doors for h[...]

- Every winter I love to do these sessions with my kids and they are my absolute favorite! I encourage every parent to do these to capture the sweet and fun moments of your kids rolling around under your covers and just being silly. Now, don't let these photos fool you. About five minutes after these were taken sibling r[...]

- I don't usually make an appearance on my own blog, but this year I wanted to try something different. Thanks to a tripod and a remote, I decided to take our own family pictures this year. I wanted to make it all about the kids, but it was nice to get a few shots of my husband and I in there as well. We headed to one of[...]

- I love photographing families year after year! Since I'm new to the West Coast, that doesn't happen often. I was so happy and honored to photograph The Smith Family again this year. We had so much fun last year at our beach session and I was so stoked to photograph them again this year! We met up in the old part of San[...]

- Loved getting to know and photograph The Bunge Family this past weekend at Salt Creek Beach for a little Mini! I'm always about adding furry family members to the shoot - just look how cute this family is!

- We've been so blessed to have this sweet family in our lives. We met the Pilons last year and they have become an extension of our family and the closest friends we have here in California. Our kids are best friends, the men surf, and us ladies have shopping in common! They chose Victoria Beach as a setting because of [...]

- My heart broke into a million pieces the day we had to say goodbye to our sweet pup. 15 + years of happiness with my best friend by my side day. I still don't know how loosing something so small could make you feel so empty. I miss this guy beyond words, tears continually streaming down my face. I wish I could hold him[...]

- I'm lucky enough to live on the same street as this sweet family. I met the Ryan Family this past weekend at one of my favorite spots - Serrano Creek Park. We spent the evening exploring, collecting sticks and playing in these amazing tee pees someone left behind. Here is a sneak peak of our time together!

- I'm still adjusting to fall in California to be more like summer. I do miss the fall foliage back east, but I think I found a great alternative to fall foliage with these gorgeous Eucalyptus tree filled park at Serrano Creek Park. This was the perfect setting for my mini session with the Hendricks Family. We got to w[...]

- I have not posted a blog for a long time now. Life in California has kept us busy exploring and chasing sunsets. For the past few winters I have been doing "Undercover" photoshoots with the kids. I'd always wait for a cold and sunny day with some snow on the grown to help bring in as much natural light as possible into[...]
