Family sessions are in full swing over here. I still have some spots open if any one still wants to book a session. Weekends are booking up fast, but weekdays are a little bit more available if that works better. When we arrived at this beach, it was PACKED. There was a wedding going on and tons of people spending some of the last warm days at the beach. Thankfully we walked a little further and found this great spot with these rocks away from the majority of people. I love when it is partly cloudy at the beach. It sure softens that light up, but the sun is still able to shine through the clouds and it creates some beautiful glow! I always look forward to working with this family. They are always such a joy to photograph.

My Niece was married a few weeks ago. I am still working on their wedding pictures, but prior to their wedding, I took Kaylie and Ben to Balboa Park for some Bride & Groom portraits. We knew we wouldn't have a lot of time on their wedding day for portraits, so we did a whole session just for them. We also did a first look. It was Ben's first time seeing Kaylie in her GORGEOUS dress. It was such a sweet moment between them! 💕 I wish them many years of happiness and love.

Love in the time of COVID. My nephew Craig and Jade were married a few weeks ago. These two are just perfect for each other. I couldn't be more happy for them! Right before this wedding, I bought the new Canon R6 mirrorless camera and the Canon RF 70-200 lens. It was a killer combo and a dream to shoot with. 💕

The Jalajel family is from New York and they came out to San Diego on vacation a few months ago. It was my pleasure getting to know them and capture their sweet family.

The Baker Family! I sure love this sweet family. They moved out of California a few months ago and we sure miss them and their kids. I am just glad I got to photograph their cute smiles before they left. 😊

{{Holliday Family}} We went to the Martston house for this photoshoot and it is definitely one of my favorite spots now. Such an awesome historical house. Sage is getting baptized this year, so we snuck a few pictures of her in her baptism dress. The Hollidays are such a cute family!

{{Denogean Family}} I've been photographing these kids since they were little! Jr is graduating high school this year and Alex is promoting from 8th grade. Can't believe how grown up they are. So sad they are unable to experience their graduations like they normally would have pre-COVID-19. 😞

Meet Ferris LaVoire! Annie and Matt welcomed Ferris into their home back in January and I had the opportunity to do a little photo session of them enjoying their bonding time with him and his big sister Lilly. They are the cutest family! Annie is a big Harry Potter fan like myself, so when she suggested incorporating Harry Potter books into the picture, I was so excited! I can't believe how big Ferris is already getting. It feels like yesterday when I was taking these pictures.

{{Kaylie + Ben}} My niece is getting married!!! I've been holding on to these pictures for awhile... I wanted to wait until she got the chance to share them... and I've been a little behind. 😉 I am so excited for these two. I adore my nieces and nephew and I will probably cry like a baby when she gets married. Unfortunately, she has tried to set the wedding date twice now, but with COVID-19 going on, that has put a damper on their plans. They still don't have a date set yet, but hopefully it will happen this year! In the mean time, here are some adorable pictures of these two. I bought a 2nd flash this year and I was able to play around with off camera flash and sunset pictures at the beach. I am in love!!! 😍
