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.
Rebecca + Anthony were married on 4th of July last year but didn’t get professional photos from their wedding. I was excited when they contacted me for some anniversary photos! It was great hearing their story of how they met (through friends in high school) and how they reconnected years later (random meeting in an airport after they both joined the Navy). We had a blast laughing and hiking to my favorite spots in North County!
Meuy loves nature and flowers! She would get so excited as we walked around Balboa park for their engagement photos, seeing all the gorgeous colors! Johnny is the little brother of a past bride (and good friend now) so it was fun seeing the same family at their wedding!
One thing I loved about Kate + Sean is that they really worked to use all local vendors. Everyone was located in North County – most of them in Carlsbad! They live in Carlsbad and can walk to their wedding venue! How cool is that? They are super laid back as well. They were most excited about the classic cars they took to the ceremony! And I love that Kate did a hair change for the reception! So rad.

Talk about making my job easy! How adorable are these two?! We had fun wandering off the path for their engagement photos. Stephanie even brought a cute prop with instructions on how to pronounce Jeff’s last name! Don’t worry, I’m still confused too. These two will be gracing my blog again after Labor Day!
I thought today would be a good day to steam up your screen! This gorgeous bride wanted to gift her new hubby with boudoir photos – it was a success! She presented them at their wedding last month and he was more than appreciative. She totally found that inner confidence and rocked her photoshoot with me! Rawr!
