Unbelievably, my Addison is one. I spent several months picking up props and building on the idea of what the session would look like. I was able to find the chevron blanket at a local thrift store, and the ideas just grew from there. Being my own child, I was happy to have several days […]

Meet Bryanna. We set up at a location in Oceanside that I’ve been eye-balling for over a year now, and I was excited to find some really fun graffiti around the corner. Unfortunately, the location has been bulldozed since. I’m so happy that we were able to use this gem before it was gone. […]
As the kids get older, each year seems to be more fun than the last. After changing to a Paleo diet lifestyle last year, we decided on no candy, but you never would have known. The kids got fruit leathers and new helmets for their tricycles, and did not feel deprived of anything, as I […]
Addison is nine months now, actually, nearly ten, if you want to get technical 🙂 She is working hard on that first tooth, and we’re all feeling it. I was happy to see her perk up for the first time in a few days <3 Some of my favorite moments with my littles are the […]
In 2011, Ted and Michelle wanted a creative way to announce the pregnancy to the family, so we shot a sweet, little mini session. Once he arrived, they opened up their home for a Lifestyle Newborn Session. This type of newborn session is a perfect choice for older newborns, and for parents looking for a session […]
Meet Tucker! He’s an Australian Shepherd, and is so smart already. Tucker was my dad’s early Christmas, and reminds me so much of our Aussie growing up. My favorite is his blue eye. He was so sleepy during our little “session” and was working all the right poses. Love ya already, Tuck! […]
A few weeks ago, I realized that of all the photos I have taken, I had none of the three of my own children together. In a moment of insanity, I coordinated clothes, packed up the cars, and headed to a park with the kids. I was outnumbered, but determined to make this a fun […]
Meet the Collins family! They’re a family full of creativity and love, each one of them. We met up at my favorite location in Vista to capture some photos of their family of seven. It was amazing to see how much love they have for each other, each fascinated with the things that make each […]
Working with this family has been a dream. When Krystle told me she wanted some photos of her new nephew, too, I thought, “The more the merrier,” and boy was I right. They were all such sweethearts, and I loved capturing their own unique personalities. They shine right through each shot, and that right there […]
