When Carly and Jesse first reached out to me last year, I knew off the bat that we were going to get along (and I was so so right). They are so joyful, full of life, and so in love, that I just couldn't wait...
Happy Wednesday everyone! Today I get to share Ana Maria and Lucas's adorable San Jose engagement shoot. After some back and forth and trying on different ideas, we decided to do their engagement shoot in two parts. First, we went down the Guadalupe river trail...
I first met Becca and Sam over a year ago when they were visiting from the East Coast. We talked a lot about their wedding plans - how they wanted to intertwine Jewish wedding traditions into their otherwise nontraditional world views - and I was...
I have been *loving* having my clients answer some questions about their shoots ( of course, it's extra nice when they are so sweet :D ). Here is what Alie thought about her milk bath portrait, in her own words (and of course images of...
Stephanie and I tossed a bunch of different ideas back and forth for her and Nate's engagement session, but many of them were tough to reach on a weekday evening after work. Enter Saratoga! I had never done an engagement session there before, so it...
Margie and Dan are trying to visit all of the National Parks in the U.S., and since they got engaged at one, the figured having their photo shoot at one would be fitting. Pinnacles National Park was next on their list, and this worked out...
I had such a sweet time working wish Anisha, and I am so glad she was willing to share a bit about her experience with my milkbath portrait (or flowerbath) shoots! Read all about it below :). -------------------------------------- 1) Why did you decide to do this type...
Kaitlynn and Kevin met in high school and have been inseparable since. In spite of having been together for a long while, their love still struck me as uniquely sweet and bright. "Young love" at it's best, even after many years. On their wedding day...
Kaitlin and Josh met when they were both students at UCSD. They are the classic friends-who-fell-in-love story :). Once they figured it out, they haven't been apart since. Fast forward several years and degrees, and they are tying the knot next year in San Diego!...
Cary and James' wedding was such a blast. Even though they lived all the way in New York (I think they've since moved), they decided to plan their wedding in California, where their families are from. The looked far and wide for the perfect spot,...
Carlie and Riley's Nestldown wedding was about as close to fairytale as a real-life wedding gets. It was a beautiful day in the Santa Cruz mountains when Carlie and her bridesmaids and Riley and his groomsmen arrived at Nestldown for the last bit of their...
In order to spend the most time possible partying with their families during their wedding day, Arianne and Marcel opted to do a day-after wedding photo shoot. This allowed us (the two of them, plus my hubs / assistant Sean and I) ample time to...
Wooo, boy, was this wedding amazing. And I'm just going to start by saying - I can't do it justice in words. Patially because to describe the whole weekend would take me more words than you care to read. Besides, I know you're just here...
Yaaaaay, here comes my first wedding of 2017! And what a wedding it was. I've known Katie and her family for a number of years - they and my husband's family grew up together, so there are a lot of connections. I was super thrilled that...
Happy Wednesday everyone! Today I'm excited to share with you my water | boudoir | portrait session with Angie. We decided to go with a couple different looks - the first a classic vintage pinup style and the second a dark and moody red and...
