The sun was setting and its warm rays rested on our skin as we overlooked the beautiful blue of the Pacific. Point Dume in Malibu, CA is always magical, but photographing Kasey and Alec and their precious first baby bump made the night feel extra special. Kasey and Alec, I am so thrilled for you, […]

I don’t post senior sessions as often, but I always love doing them. It’s such an amazing time in life! Youth, freedom, excitement. It’s a time when you’re on the cusp of a new adventure with your whole life before you. I remember when I was that age I never felt more full of excitement […]

When the world feels like it could very well fall apart around your there’s something about the serenity of nature that calms the heart and revives the spirit. Like the whisper of God speaking into your soul reminding you that He clothes the flowers and feeds the birds. Yesterday I got to retreat, for a […]

I had SO much fun photographing Kelsey & Taylor’s engagement session in Santa Monica last week! First stop, Urth Caffe (which, by the way, is where Lukas & I went right before he proposed to me, sigh!!) Kelsey & Taylor have this adorable relationship! It was so fun to see how they just enjoy being […]

I have known Elizabeth and Jason a long time (since before I was married to Lukas!) and Lukas and I have had the privilege of photographing them over the years, from engagement, to wedding, to Christmas photos. So when I got the email that Elizabeth was pregnant, I was over the moon excited! It is […]

When past brides & grooms ask you to come document their family, it is definitely something special!! And that’s how I felt hanging out with Juan & Nikki & their adorable little girl, Annabelle Melrose (how cute is that name?!) Ever since having kids of my own, I just LOVE documenting families, especially in their […]

I had so much fun photographing the Cullen family last week! It’s so fun when big families come together for updated pictures, because it seems like once kids are out of the house families grow so fast! Thank you guys for having me out to photograph you all! Enjoy a few of my favorites from […]

Lukas and I had the privilege of capturing Sarah and Nathan’s engagement and wedding, which made it so special to capture this new chapter in their lives together; their first baby bump! I am so excited for you guys and cannot wait to see this little guy when he arrives!

I had such a blast hanging out with Tyler and Katie and taking photos of their precious little guy! Tyler was a friend of ours a looong time ago before he was married and I remember Lukas and I praying for a wife for him… and now he not only has Katie who is absolutely amazing, […]

Before Lukas and I had kids, we volunteered in a high school group with our church and became good friends with a Canadian fella named Tyler. He became our “third wheel” for many dinners, frequently house sitting while we shot weddings in other parts of the world (and even helping us drive places!) We were […]
