It was love at first sight. They spotted me because of my fabulous tan leather boots that just so happened to match their own. Instafriends.

If I could describe them in three words I would say Fun, Wonderful, and Awesome.

Although I could not pick a favorite part of the shoot, the moment they offered my assistant and I Big League Chew I knew it was meant to be.

Andy and Rachel, it was an absolute pleasure to spend the afternoon getting to know you and I am super excited to photograph your wedding in La Jolla!!

I had the hardest time editing these images because all I wanted to do was share every single one with you on here!
Truth be told, I’m not finsihed with them, but I just had to share a few.

So enjoy, and know that there are many more where these came from!

I had so much fun at Miles & Autumn’s beautiful intimate wedding in Santa Barbara… I can’t get over how gorgeous the sunset was!

I absolutely adore this couple!
Jay and Inge are so cute together and when they showed up on a tandem bicycle and heart balloon I just about melted!

So cute but also so romantic…they make me excited to truly fall in love one day.

Inge is from South Africa and at one point during the shoot she told me the way I hide in the bushes reminded her of how a tiger looks…quite possibly one of the best compliments I’ve ever received…I got so excited

Such a fun day, such a fun shoot, and I cannot wait for their wedding in a few weeks!! Yay!

Just a little sneak peek at their beautiful wedding in Santa Barbara today:

this is their adorable dog: Lulu. She was exhausted after chasing ladybugs all day:

and this was the incredible sunset that we were blessed with:

There is something magical about this family.

I was contacted by a mutual friend who informed me that Jane, the mom, had been diagnosed with cancer, and they wanted one last photoshoot of their family before she went through chemo. I was so humbled to be asked to photograph them, and had no idea that I would leave the photoshoot feeling as if they had given me a gift.

They are such a beautiful example of what God designed family to be, and although they have a tough road ahead of them, they are standing firm. Even spending just a little bit of time with them I am inspired by their hope, and I truly believe Jesus is going to be made more beautiful to them through this all.

Here are a few photos from our shoot.

The incredible mother, Jane:

Yesterday I did an incredible photoshoot involving glitter, climbing a tree in 5 inch stiletto boots, wading in waist deep water to get to a rock in the ocean, and last but not least THIS incredible sunset was our backdrop…

this is straight out of my camera, the sky was so beautiful it literally took our breath away…

stay tuned for pictures from the actual shoot…coming soon

In the chaos of last semester I completely forgot to post these photos of Joe and Lisa’s photo shoot.
They have been married a year, and after seeing some of my engagement photos, they decided they wanted to do an anniversary photo shoot on the beach.

When I arrived in Ventura it had been raining ALL DAY, and we were worried it wouldn’t stop, but the rain stopped just in time, and gave us beautiful clouds which made for an incredible sunset. We ended up getting some awesome photos and having a blast!
Here are a few of my favorites:
