blog // highlights from my latest sessions
Happy Friday, everyone!
This has been both a restful and hectic week at the same time. Is that a thing? Do any other wedding photographers with full time day gigs ever feel that way? Does anyone else ever feel that way? Maybe it’s just us? 😬
Well we thought today we’d share a little bit more about us with you! We love…
Rolling green hills with acres and acres of fresh grapes tended by winemakers with the utmost care. Sunshine on a windy day sweeping the smell of barbecue and fresh air through doors and windows. Semi urban landscapes planted right in the middle of…
breathtaking.
Can you believe that until Jeremy & Christa’s Big Sur Portrait Session, I had never been south of Carmel? All this time I’ve lived by the coast and never did I venture south past those luscious cerulean waters of Clint Eastwood’s town. And even then, I hadn’t been to Carmel until just a few years ago. WHAT? Right?
Michael and I left early knowing it would be…
legacy.
Did you know that right now you are currently in the middle of a story that will be passed down to your children and your children’s children? Think about where you are at this moment and all the moments that led up to this one. That one moment in third grade when you confessed to your crush. Those awkward teenage years in middle school and high school. The stress of applying to colleges and filling out tedious job applications. Last weekend when you…
new.
There’s a lot of talk right now about the idea of new. Freshening up your life by decluttering not just your old sock drawer but also your mental file cabinets and dusty cobwebs in the back of that mind of yours. I’ve been hearing a lot about that new Netflix show, Tidying Up, and I have to admit I haven’t started it yet, but…
story.
10 years of friendship. 3 months of dating. 6 months of engagement. Approaching 6 years of marriage. Jensen & Elizabeth have been among the lucky few to be married to someone you’ve known for pretty much your whole life. That kind of connectedness is…
together.
Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been studying and meditating on the idea of “together.” How even the most introverted of people who hide away from all commotion and noise need other people. Humans are built for community. It’s written on our…
connected.
It was a routine game night at my friends’ home in Aromas, CA. Their little studio space was the headquarters for friendly competitions of Clue, What Do You Meme?, Phase 10 and Monopoly (every possible version of it, too). Rochelle and I stepped outside for a moment to feed the cats and say hi to her mom really quick. What was intended to be…
pure.
This word seems to carry so much weight with it. It’s so simple and straightforward, yet it’s also heavily complex and intricate. Some hear a calling. Some hear judgment. Let’s set aside our own baggage for a moment. Put down your…
it was always you.
10 years. Best friends. Against all odds. After a decade of being in each other’s lives, Shane and Morgan know that there is a lot to be thankful for. Imagine this: you meet the love of your life in…
