I am often asked how long I’ve been a photographer. I think it’s true for most artists………we really can’t remember a time when we weren’t creating. It’s who we are! I shot this image of my little brothers when I was 14 years old. I was 9 when my first brother was born, and that is what...
OMG… that is so hilarious! This artist thing is definitely in your blood girl! So glad they didn’t beat you up for the dress up times!

[...] I’ve been asked a lot lately how I got started in photography. It’s been a passion of mine since early childhood when I began photographing my two younger brothers. My earliest projects involved dressing them up…….usually in my clothing, or from whatever I could get my hands on from my 3 sisters. The boys didn’t stand a chance. Yes, their baby books are filled with images of them in skirts and blue eyeshadow. Despite the fact that they refused to dress as girls past the age of five………I love them dearly for enduring these early sessions which helped to reinforce my love of photography. We still laugh about it to this very day. The following image was shot with film when I was fifteen. The original plan was for the little one to be “the biker chick”………..but he put up a fight during the make up application and insisted on being a “biker dude” like his older brother. They were so cute posing like tough guys. You can see my original post here. [...]
Ok, so it took me a while to post this one……….It was a cold and rainy day (the only storm we had in November). The ceremony had to be moved inside at the last minute and the room turned around quickly after the ceremony for the reception. Wedding coordinator Melissa Franco with Dream It Events did...

The wedding day by nature is bound to have a few unexpected happenings. To help things run as smoothly as possible, it is imperative to have a wedding day timeline. Although a photojournalistic approach is taken during much of the wedding day, adequate time needs to be set aside to photograph the details, portraits, wedding party, family groups, and...

The intent of this portrait session with Michael and his brother John………( more to come from this session later) was to get a few traditional shots of them for the family Christmas card. We captured lots of fun shots of the boys being silly, and several of them looking directly at me with those gorgeous...

Probably the most exciting part of the wedding day for me is when I first arrive to photograph the event. The bride is surrounded by her dearest friends and family……….and there is a contagious excitement in the air. I love the images I capture at this final stage of preparation, and I feel it’s a really important...

We’re getting ready for another baseball season, and I just can’t believe it’s almost been a year since Jake’s first season. I ran across this image last night and started feeling a little nostalgic! I need to bring my camera to his games more often!

I’m so excited to offer this fun collection to all my 2009 brides! Of course, this special will be available to all clients beyond Valentine’s Day! First we’ll start off with a professional make up application. We can do as many different outfit changes/ looks and locations as time allows. I’m flexible with the look of each...

My husband and I rang in the New Year wine tasting at Wilson Creek and South Coast Wineries in Temecula. It was an absolutely gorgeous day, and I just couldn’t resist bringing along my camera. If you’re planning a wedding in the area, both are beautiful venues.

My son Jake and I LOVE Windansea Beach in San Diego. We recently spent 3 consecutive days hanging out there, as Jake was determined to jump off sand mountains, collect shells, and play on the rocks. The air was a bit chilly, but it still felt good in the sun. He made it quite clear that he...
