I am SO EXCITED to share my new promo video with you! The AMAZING Clayton of Stringer Productions flew all the way from Austin, TX to put my vision into film and I am SO thankful for his hard work and killah talent. Special thanks to Clayton (obviously), to Betsy Lackey for being my cheerleader […]

Jeremy and Nicole are two of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. They’re so much fun, they’re friendly and supportive, they’re talented, and honestly…. I feel so blessed to have been asked to photograph their engagement. They’re the type of people who hug you immediately upon seeing you… the type to make sure everyone else […]

This is the year Katie graduates from Azusa Pacific University. All her hard work is almost done, and to celebrate, we took some fun portraits around Orange County. I love her smile and her sweet quiet nature. I love her sass and sense of humor. She’s got a heart of gold, and I admire her […]

I’ve been pretty absent from my blog the past two weeks…. sorry. But the good news is, we’ve gotten a blog facelift! It’s been a few years since my last revamp and I thought it was about time we get some fresh design and features up in here. What do you think? To celebrate, I […]

Through some connections of connections, they met and became fast friends, enjoying one another’s quick wit and sense of humor.

This poor cat. I’m sure he’s one of the most photographed kittens of all time…. and I’m quite certain that if Hugo knew every silly thing he does goes on the internet for the world to see, he would hide and never come out. But lucky for me, for you… and for him, he’s unaware […]

I am SO excited to share this wedding because… it was amazing…. and well, because I REALLY REALLY enjoyed working with Jonathan and Regina. When we first met, we got some coffee at my favorite Portola Coffee Lab in Costa Mesa. We got to talking, and it turned out that Regina and I had pretty […]

For those of you who’ve been following my Instagram feed, this is old news, but for those of you who aren’t on Instagram…. I wanted to share an update on our little furball, Hugo. I blogged last week about how excited we were to have a little fuzzy kitten in our lives…. well on Friday […]

Braden and Emily are near and dear to my heart for many reasons. For one, we all worked at Forest Home together a while back, and the friendships that we started back then have only grown stronger through the years. We’ve gone through breakups, big trips, new relationships, life’s highs and lows… and I couldn’t […]

Being introduced by mutual friends, they started the first years of their relationship as friends…. hanging out at lunch, studying, and discussing the future of their young lives. When it came time to decide on colleges, Rob landed a place at USC and Jackie decided on an east […]
