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 […]

Words fail me as I try to describe the beauty of the moments I encountered at Rachel and Jeff’s wedding. “True love” comes to mind, but that wouldn’t do it justice. The way their gaze met and held each other, undistracted, unwavering, as the world around them disappeared is rare. It was a look of […]

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. Add the sweet love of James and Kari into that moment and you have nothing short of perfection. It makes me so happy […]

There’s something about the quiet expanse of the open desert that offers such soul-curing peace. It’s not the flurry of a forest with all the sounds and motion of bugs, trees, wind, squirrels, and trees stretching swaying, and leaning their limbs, with the birds diving, and the deer and rabbits leaping.

Sometimes the epic larger-than-life moments are the simple ones. Naomi’s gleeful laugh in the dressing room showing their deep connection as her twin sister Phoebe helped her with her veil.

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 sun on your face, the breeze in your hair, and the soft lapping of the waves sliding across the sand just down at the edge of the grass make you feel euphoric. The time is almost here. As the warmth of the midday sun escalates the excitement, the bride slips into her dress. The […]

I wrote the below when I posted Noah & Malia’s engagement photos a few months back. And no matter how I try I can’t seem to word it any better than I did before. So I’m just going to post it again. But on top of that, I had such a wonderful time at their […]

Weddings are filled with such sweet moments. I often tear up, but I never know when it will happen. At Joe and Monique’s wedding, it was a few times. The first was during the “bestowing of socks”. While all the guys were getting ready Joe had gotten each one of them a unique pair of […]
