Imelda + Raul from Washington

Imelda + Raul came to San Diego last week for some well deserved R&R. Imelda has been serving in Iraq and had an opportunity to take some time away with her husband Raul. They both serve in the Army and have had to be a part for some time.

We got together at the Ivy Hotel where they were staying and cruised around the area downtown together. I'm SO stoked on their session! They brought the love and laughter! I'm just about finished with production for their session and wanted to post a sneak peak.



Imelda and Raul, it was so much fun spending an evening with you two! I hope you enjoyed San Diego and I hope you went to Phil's BBQ! :) Lots of Love!

Anna + Dino : Engaged!

Ahhhhh! I again get to say that I love these two. Having a photography journal to express the happenings in my world really reminds me on a daily basis how lucky I am to have an open door for great people to walk into my life. And walk in they did. . .Anna and Dino met on New Years Eve Eve at D Street Bar in Encinitas.

So, the story goes. . .Anna's friend had this friend, Dino who she wanted her to meet. Anna's friend begged her to come after she got off work and reluctantly Anna went to D Street in her work clothes and the rest is history. . .

We met at D Street and relived their meeting which was just too cute to see them sit at the same table and hold hands. Anna giggled the entire session which was awesome for me. I can still hear her giggles. . .between the giggles is just this beautiful silence and peace when they look at each other.







This story reminds me that you just never know when your person will walk through your door.

Thank you, Anna and Dino for sharing a Monday evening with me in Encinitas {one of my favorite places in San Diego}.

I'm really excited to photograph your July 2009 wedding!

XoXo.

Meredith + Andrew : Spruce Street

I recently had the pleasure of photographing two very special people. I met Meredith in the spring and it was an instant connection. She's a rare find in the world of ladies and I'm lucky to have crossed paths with her. Her husband of four years, Andrew is quite fantastic himself. The two of them were a blast to photograph and it was an honor to spend the evening with them.

















Andrew and Meredith, thank you SOOOOOO much for spending Sunday evening with me and for treating me to that AMAZING dinner at Urban Solace! Hmmmmmm, girl. . .those biscuits!! Mmmmhmmm!

Miss Sienna from San Louis Obispo, CA!

I got together with Sue Merrill, her daughter Stacy and Sienna who is now 15 months. It was a warm one at Balboa Park yet Sienna was feeling fabulous. We rode the carousel together and got dizzy and strolled around the park making Sienna laugh and BOY did she do a great job!









This is one of my favorites!







Thank you Sue, Sienna and Stacey!! I had so much fun with you three!

Hebler Family comes to San Diego!

The Hebler Family is from El Paso, Texas and I had the opportunity to capture their family at Hotel Del, Coronado while they vacationed in San Diego.

Here is Jonathon and Isabella exploring the beach together.

Falb Family comes to San Diego!

I've had the pleasure of photographing this group now for 2 years. I LOVE them all and had a nice evening with them at Hotel Del in Coronado.

Miss Molly Ann from Bloomfield, NJ!

Seeing little one's is always a great way to give me perspective on time. During my trip across the country, I stopped by my cousin's house in New Jersey to visit and see the cutest little one I know, Miss Molly Ann. It's been two whole years since I've seen her and the rest of my family in New Jersey. That's just far too long! Miss Molly is just the best and it was pretty amazing to see how much she's grown!

We made up for lost time pretty fast.



She LOVES my cousin Valerie's sporty car.



And going for walks with her mom.

Zac + Tracy...Take II!

I must feature more photographs from Zac and Tracy's Engagement Session. Love, love, love these two.











Thank you, thank you, thank you Zac and Tracy for your wonderful presence and for your contagious romance!

Zac + Tracy = heaven sent

Zac and Tracy are the ultimate couple to have walked into my world. It was the right time, their wedding day is going to be amazing and their love is so true and so obvious that it makes you feel so different to be around people like them. They are both talented artists and enjoy photography and understand the many elements behind a great image. Mason and I had the pleasure of spending a Sunday evening with them walking around downtown and enjoying Anthology's second floor all to ourselves. There are so many beautiful photographs from their engagement session to share yet I have just one for now.



Thank you Zac and Tracy! It is truly an honor to capture you two at this amazing time in your lives.

Hudson Falb Turn 1 !!

This little man has grown so fast!!
I photographed Hudson when he was a month old last May with his Mom and Dad at their home. Precious little man with two really amazing parents.



Last weekend, I had the honor of capturing Hudson enjoy a party to celebrate his 1st Birthday. I'm showing the best sweet part of the day. His Mom and Dad let him go to town on his very own cake.




Happy Birthday Hudson!!

Life is Good!!

In my work, I have the opportunity to capture different stages of people's lives. I've been photographing twin boys now for almost a year. I spent a few hours with them the other day and it's amazing how quickly I'm reminded, being around little one's, that nothing, no matter how big of a deal you make it, is ever that big of a deal.

Simplicity. Laughter. Joy. Peace. I find here.




Sneak peak. I can't help but smile and laugh at these two photographs.
