There is nothing as magical as the California coastline at sunrise. Well, nothing except getting to see couples in love, especially when it’s only two weeks away from their wedding day. Congrats Maran & Stephen, you both look fabulous and I can’t wait for your wedding in a few weeks! Enjoy a few favorites from […]

I was super excited that I go to do Jared & Eva’s engagement photos in Buena Vista, Colorado yesterday! I am so grateful for all the sweet friends and caring people who pass through my life. It’s been at least 15 years since I met Jared and his family through one of Jared’s brothers who […]

I drove and drove through the rolling green Alabama countryside. Cows to my left, a blue sky ahead. After a couple hours, the little road I was on dead ended into a historic town in Alabama named Eufaula, and I parked my car. With excitement, Anna and Gavin jumped out of their car, hugs all […]

Spring is in the air, the magic of the hills, the wind the sun, and the sprawling San Fernando valley made for such a beautiful night and epic photos. I so enjoyed getting to spend time connecting with Erick & Katherine and can’t wait for the wedding coming up later this Summer! You both look […]

There’s something infinitesimally calming about the rush of the wind over the vast expanse of flowing green grass—the chill of the breeze on your cheeks and the beauty of nature around you.

The desert is different, […]

Rachel’s thick curls rustled in the wind as the last drops from the rainstorm ran off the trees overhead. The birds tentatively emerged from their hiding spots to greet the sunshine with their little chirps in the fading hour of daylight moments before the sun dipped behind the horizon. Together Jeff and Rachel walked down […]

The peace and serenity of expansive gardens always make me feel such a calm. As I walk through the leaves heal to toe softly treading as soundlessly as possible through the peace of curated nature. The humid smell of the rain, the fragrance of so many flowers, the different tones of dust and earth. It […]

The wild vagrant in me sometimes wonders where I belong. There are so many places, and so many people, in so many seasons.  Life is such a hodgepodge of relationships. Living, laughing, and loving…connecting, disconnecting, and re-connecting in different times, cities and circumstances. This season is a good one. Our home is in a place […]

Yesterday was such a lovely evening with the cool sunset breeze, the smell of desert, and the epic views from one of my favorite secret spots in Chatsworth. I took Phil and Marie to the top of the mountain and then to the top of the rock where Suzy and I love to sit and […]
