Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
Year after year I think to myself…I have the most amazing clients. How do I get so lucky? Each wedding day is so unique and tailored to my couple and I love getting to know them through this process. Not to mention all my amazing portrait clients too that aren’t pictured here! Thanks to you all for the support, love and business over the past year!

I’m always happy when a client is up for a morning session, especially in a crowded spot like Balboa Park! There’s something magical about having the whole place virtually to ourselves! And of course we had to include their adorable fur-baby! I met Ale when she was in a wedding I photographed a few years back and was so excited to get to know them better! Their wedding is coming up fast – just over a month! 
Michelle + Nick are seriously the sweetest couple ever! They are huge Charger fans and very recently gave birth to an adorable daughter!

Kristina wanted to her engagement shoot to be done at a Mission and suggest the one in Oceanside – which happens to be walking distance to my house! Perfect! I haven’t shot there for years and even discovered new parts! Such a cool property. We headed down to the beach for the most perfect golden light at sunset! 
I love that Kelcy and Thomas planned their wedding around the Padres schedule! It was so fun to have the sounds of the game in the background of their reception! They had so many fun unique touches that really related to them as a couple! And check out Kelcy’s amazing dress – swoon!
