So you’re finally getting the hang of this “shooting in manual” thing. You’re starting to become familiar or confident with guiding and posing. Finding the light is either a) stressful or b) becoming easier. And you’re working hard to steady this balancing act known as “photography”. Yes, I know. If you’ve picked up a camera […]

If you read my first blog in this two-part series, you possibly resonated with my fears of failing after I pursued something I was passionate about, which happened to be photography. In short, I looked to pretty images on Pinterest, the standards I placed on myself and heard from society that attaining this perfection could […]

This couple you’re about to say, “wow, they’re lovely” about is a couple that Jordan and I love and look up to. They’re expecting their first little baby girl this October (so soon!!), and we, as well as so many others, are eagerly awaiting her arrival! Her mama and I have been best friends since […]

I think you’re starting to not believe me when I say I worked with the sweetest bride, but my goodness, Sarah couldn’t be any sweeter! And I know that all of you reading this right now who know Sarah are shaking your heads with agreement.  I truly feel so grateful to work with such genuine, […]

This sweet COUPLE!  If I could clone everything about this engagement session I WOULD–the couple, the location, the dresses & good conversation.

Oh how radiant!  Lindsay’s soft, sweet nature is one of the characteristics that makes her so beautiful. It was fun getting to dote on how outwardly beautiful she was during her bridals, as well. Highland Park United Methodist Church is an absolutely lovely location to shoot, and Lindsay made it that much more exquisite!  We […]

Oh my, how incredibly gorgeous is this Carlsbad High School senior!? SO!!  She also happens to be my cousin who shares the same middle name as me. Pretty fun fact there, right?  I’m feeling older and older, because I feel like I keep using the phrase, “I remember when you were born!”, but truly, I […]

Oh, the florals; oh the lovely; oh her smile.  So many beautiful things that I can dote on to describe Courtney’s bridal session!  We took her photos at Arlington Hall, and that pop of bright pink and coral was just unstoppable. It complimented Courtney’s bright, excited smile, and it set the theme for her wedding […]

Obviously that little fact alone made her session exciting for me, but adding her gorgeous smile and pretty […]
