Stephanie & Jeremy

I will never take for granted that my friends pick me to be their photographer. I had the honor of photographing Stephanie early on in my career when she graduated from college. Watching her become a successful teacher, find her fiancé, and get pregnant with what’s going to be the most adorable baby boy has been amazing. While it took us awhile to land on a location, Stephanie reminded me that I had stumbled upon a new location a few weeks back and of course we had to go there. It was the perfect setting with that emerald green dress and that gorgeous red hair of hers. The way the light shined on her? Chef’s kiss.

Beltran Family

New year, new photos!

Can anyone else fully grasp that it’s the last day of the month? I sure can’t. Where did the holidays go? When I sit and think about it, I’m always amazed by how fast time is actually going. Luckily, family sessions aren’t a Fall only type of session. It doesn’t what month it is, so long as you can get everyone’s schedule to match up, it’s a good time to update those photos!

Veenstra Family

When talking with Karissa about locations she wanted for her family photos, she said “too bad the desert is so far away.” That’s when it dawned on me that I hadn’t been to Joshua Tree in years and I knew we had to make it happen for her. It had been 6 years since they had done family photos and these needed to be absolutely perfect. I think they nailed it! From following style guidance, to being just a downright good looking family, I’m absolutely in love with these images!

Chin Family

I met Carrie and her family last year for their sweet son’s first birthday cake smash. I was in love with Johnnie & Luke within minutes of meeting them and seeing how much they’ve grown since last year just warms my heart. I was so excited when Carrie told me she and her husband were wanting to be in a few photos as well this year because everyone deserves that one beautiful family photo for their wall or mantle. If you know me, you KNOW you get way more than one good photo. Sometimes the amount of photos overwhelms me, so I often wonder what my clients think of it lol! Also, can we talk about this gorgeous location?! Giving us all the fall feels even on 80 degree days.

Justine & Family

When I tell you I love what I do… I mean it. I get to be a part of some pretty spectacular events in my client’s lives. Whether or not, they like it, they become my family.

I met Justine a few years ago when we were both working at Chili’s. She was one of my favorite people there and when she first hired me last year for her son’s 6 month & 1 year old photos, I was thrilled. Now, over a year later, her sweet boy is turning 2 next month! She has also been doing amazing work on her health and is looking absolutely amazing, so of course I forced her to do a few photos alone.
