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.
PS Happy Easter!
This past Sunday I met Jennie and Jason up at my favorite Temecula Winery, Wilson Creek. I’m a former employee, so I have my loyalty there. 🙂
J&J were married this past November and although I was not their wedding photographer, I was so honored to be able to shoot some awesome portraits for them!
H-O-T!
Wilson Creek has a brand new building they use for weddings and it is phenomenal! If you are planning a wedding in Temecula, go check them out!
The grapes/leaves aren’t blooming this time of year, but we couldn’t leave without a visit to the vines!
We jumped back in the car and headed south to Escondido to catch the last of the light!
Meow! Jennie’s makeup was done by the fabulous Meghan Tyson (email me for her info!)
Thanks you two for being such great models! You two know how to work it!

PS Shout out to my good friend Christina and her fiance Frank for coming along on this shoot and helping out!
This past Saturday I met up with my good friends Kelly and Ryan to shoot some photos to put in their engagement album.
They are getting married in just 19 days! I am so excited for them! We had a fun time exploring NTC Liberty Station.
Wowza! Check out those eyes!
This one cracks me up…Ryan is a funny guy!
My favorite of the day 🙂
Smokin’!
Hotness! See you two very soon!

Yesterday I had the honor of documenting a US Navy Commissioning ceremony. The man getting promoted is Chief Dayton Swann, husband to my good friend and local wedding coordinator, Brenda Swann. Below is just an overview of what the ceremony is like.
The ceremony was at the Veteran’s Museum in Balboa Park.
Brenda gave a witty and very emotional speech
I love how Dayton is looking at her 🙂
Brenda receiving recognition for being a Navy wife!
Dayton’s father
Dayton’s best friend got to be the first to salute him
And finally Dayton giving a speech. Don’t tell Dayton I told you this but there were a few tears shed.
The centerpieces were made by Christine at Fancy That Flowers and Gifts
Dayton explaining to his family what everything stands for
Thank you for inviting me to be a part of your day!
Dayton leaves very soon for his 2nd Deployment, best of luck to him and I will be keeping his wife company back here in San Diego!

The sweet couple 🙂
It was great hanging out with you two yesterday! So glad to have such wonderful family members in my life!
