These two adorable kids are tying the knot up in Temecula, CA in a couple of months, and I cannot wait to be a part of their big day. They were such troopers on this shoot. If you’ve ever been to the Flower Fields in Carlsbad, CA, you know that they do not like guests to walk inside of the actual flower bed areas. Well, that would make for very boring pictures, so these guys were brave enough to run into the flowers whenever I asked them to. (When shooting, I often believe in asking for forgiveness, rather than permission). And sometimes, they even did it next to a bunch of people near the entrance to the park. Needless to say, they made this shoot work! Here are a couple of my favorites from our time together…
See, aren’t they just adorable together?
Thanks for being such awesome rule breakers, guys! : ) I’m looking forward to your beautiful day!

This past Sunday I had the pleasure of shooting another gorgeous wedding up at Orfila Vineyards in Escondido, CA. I always have a fantastic time shooting there, with their wonderful staff, and beautiful scenery. These two lovely kids were an absolute ball to shoot. They’re both incredibly beautiful people inside and out. I seriously could have photographed them all weekend long, and never gotten a bad frame. Here are a few of my favorite images from our day together:
Flats! Smart girl! ; )
She looks super nervous, eh?
Some pretty window light:
Some more portraits of the beautiful bride:
The groom cleans up pretty nicely himself:
I love these 2 frames of them as they did their “first look” before the ceremony:
A beautiful day for a wedding!
Married!
The happy couple!
And my favorite image of the day!
Thank you guys for letting me be a part of your special day!!!

I am super happy to announce my next 2 mini-session dates! It has been months since I’ve last had a chance to offer these sessions. I’ve had tons of inquiries and emails asking about when the next sessions would be available, and I’m finally in a place where I can officially set the new dates in stone! The next two mini-sessions will take place on Sunday May 1st, and Sunday May 8th!
Here are the details:
For a session fee of only $150, you will receive a 30 minute photo session, along with an on-line proofing gallery, a disc of all the hi-res proof images on DVD, and a $75 gallery print credit to be used toward professional, retouched prints. As an added bonus, if you book a session slot, and refer someone else who also books a slot, you will receive an additional $25 print credit in your gallery. These session are available to families, couples, individuals, children, or headshots. I will happily shoot as many groups or people as you’d like, as long as it’s inside of your half-hour time slot. My standard portrait packages begin at $450, so that’s why these sessions are so popular. Each day will be limited to only 4 spots. (The specific times are listed below). The sessions will again be held in Balboa Park, as that location allows for the best opportunity for multiple locations, backdrops and settings as possible during a 30 minute session.
Please EMAIL ME to reserve your spot. I will respond with all of the information you will need for your session. Payment in full by credit card is required to reserve your spot. There are no refunds, but if you are unable to make it to your session, I will do my best to fill your spot, or make it up in another fashion.
The time slots are as follows:
Sunday, May 1st:
Slot 1 – 5:00pm
Slot 2 – 5:30pm
Slot 3 – 6:00pm
Slot 4 – 6:30mp
Sunday, May 8th:
Slot 1 – 5:00pm
Slot 2 – 5:30pm
Slot 3 – 6:00pm
Slot 4 – 6:30mp
If you have any questions at all please let me know. To ask a question, or to book your spot, please SEND ME AN EMAIL. I’ve had a lot of interest in these sessions, so if you’d like a spot, please contact me soon.
Thank you!

This past weekend I met up with the super-fun Harvey family to shoot a few images at the beach in La Jolla. They came prepared to have some fun, and we were able to capture some great images. Here are a couple of my favorites!
A little artsy, but I like it!
The kids:
Love this shot. Such beautiful eyes!
These two had fun. It’s always great to see a brother and sister get along so well in front of the camera!
And one last shot of the whole family!
Thanks for a fun afternoon you guys!

First of all, Merry Christmas Eve to you all! Secondly, I’m incredibly excited to post images from this wedding! A couple of weeks ago I had the extreme pleasure of photographing the wedding of my long time friend, Dana. I’ve known her for 15 years, and she’s one of the sweetest, most amazing people I’ve ever known. Dana and her new husband Andrew had their nuptials on the grounds of her father’s house out in San Diego’s East county. It was a very intimate and emotional day. Here are a few of my favorite moments!
Congratulations you two! You are both incredible. Thank you for letting me share in your day.

I love developing relationships with my clients, especially ones that allow me to photograph them through the years. This is the third year in a row I’ve had the opportunity to shoot holiday portraits for this family. I love seeing them every year, catching up, and seeing how much their little girl has grown! We met up at our favorite location and spent an hour capturing some fun images to use in this years holiday card!
Here are some of my favs:
The standard shot…
…and the cute shot:
You’ve probably seen this tree several times before on this blog. I love it!

These two wonderfully adorable kids are getting married next April, so we headed out last week to capture some engagement images and have a little fun. I’m incredibly excited to shoot the wedding for these two. They are easily one of the most relaxed, fun, and easy going couples I’ve worked with in a long time, and I know their wedding day is going to be absolutely beautiful! They both know how to relax and have fun in front of the camera, and that makes my job super easy!
Here are a couple of my favorites from our afternoon together:
Adorable, eh?

This past Sunday I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful wedding down in Chula Vista, CA, with the reception taking place a little further north on Shelter Island. I was only photographing the wedding for 4 hours, but was still able to capture some great images for this very sweet couple. Here are a couple of my favorites from the afternoon.
Patiently awaiting the start of the ceremony:
Married!
