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 […]

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.

It was so fun getting to see Aaron & Natalie come together last weekend. It was a day of friends, family, hugs, smiles, and two people finding each other united together in their love for Christ and each other! Enjoy a few of my favorites below!

Sometimes when I drive down the freeway I imagine if all the cars and bodies, and everything disappeared and just people’s souls were floating down the freeway. Each person with loves and hates, friends and enemies, joys and worries. Each person floating down the road around me with thousands of connections tied to their person. […]

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 […]

When it comes to weddings, there’s something magical that happens. There’s such a jumble of raw emotions you experience on so many levels. The tears of joy and happiness as you come together with your love, the tears of sadness for those who are no longer with you who can’t be there, camaraderie with your […]
