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.
Last week I met up with my hairdresser Jessica and her beautiful family! Her girls are growing every day and she wanted some shots of the family before they become teenagers before she knows it! (ok maybe not that soon…but you get the idea!) PS These new highlights/hair color that you see on me (or will see soon), they were done by Jessica! She rocks and is in Temecula!
It’s been almost exactly 10 months since I saw little baby Adeline last. You can see her last photo shoot here.
She belongs to my first college roommate Nikki and her hubby Matt! The day after the wedding, I met up with this adorable family at the Peoria (Illinois) Riverfront for some camera time! Addy just turned 1 about a week ago!
I met Shannon and Victor a spot in Encinitas that was completely new to me! Grandview was amazing!! I was totally inspired once I got there! Wow, what a view!
Baby Brenna is due in the begining of May!
These two were a lot of fun, up for anything I wanted to try!
Victor is a really funny, outgoing guy. Shannon laughed through most of the session!
I love this because she had no clue I was photographing her! She thought I was focusing on the belly, so this is totally natural!
Wow, I can’t wait to go back to that location! Thanks for sharing it with me, and thanks to Rachel for introducing us!
XOXO, M
Minerva, Terrence and Jeremy want to do something special for their parents. Their anniversary is in July and the last photo that was taken of the kids together was when Terrence was still in diapers! Yikes! Fast forward 15+ years to La Jolla.
Minerva, Jeremy and Terrence:
Love that golden light!
I had a lot of fun getting to know you all better! Hope your parents love the photos!
My future sister in law, Melissa, asked me to come take some photos at her best friends going away party. Jamie decided that she wants to open her own business in Oregon! Wow!
Here is the reason for the party, Jamie:
This is Jamie and her twin sister Lacie:
Jamie and Melissa – they have all been friends since they were babies!
Jamie getting excited over candy for her long drive to Oregon!

Jamie’s nephew:
Ok, now the good stuff! Jamie is a pastry chef! Look at this spread she made! My fav was the mini lemon merangue pies! I’m trying to convince her to come back to make my wedding cake! haha
Good luck in the Pacific Northwest, Jamie! Don’t freeze in the snow from today!
XOXO, M
