Photographer rule of thumb: when you get the call that your clients want to shoot in Yosemite, you always say yes. Always.
Being in LA, it’s not every day that I get to shoot somewhere so beautiful…and somewhere with so much snow!! Michelle and Garrett wanted to do something a little bit different for their engagement session - and boy was it an adventure. They were game to hike, explore, and shoot all over the park in the snow. It’s rare you get a couple who are happy to spend HOURS in front of your camera, let alone when its so cold!
Just a little glimpse into Erika and Chris’ beautiful day up in the Palo Alto area. Shooting at Stanford is always a blast. Especially when the weather is beautiful and everyone is having a great time! Special thank you to Lizzi from Lizzi Photography who graciously came up North to help me shoot this amazing day.
Quick update from a short session I did with my cousin Maya to get her some high school graduation photos! Light during Christmas time is just gorgeous. Or is it that I just miss Christmas? Sigh…
Can you believe that it’s already grad season?! Well, at least for those graduating in the winter, we are in full swing. And with spring sessions around the corner, now is a good time to start coordinating your sessions!
Bella and Tug - Their backyard wedding was fantastic. When my friend Bella asked me to shoot her wedding, I couldn’t wait. This day reminded me why I got into wedding photography.
We all know what the holiday season brings - lots of family photos! So here is a little preview of one of the many family sessions I have done this year. Aren’t these little girls precious?
August weddings in Southern California can sometimes be hot - like really, really hot. Luckily, at this Walnut Grove wedding for Alex and Will, the weather, the location, and the people were all perfect. Walnut Grove is absolutely one of my favorite venues to shoot at because of its gorgeous landscapes, the fantastic reception space, and the amazing shots we always seem to get. And thank you Lizzi Photography for assisting me on such a special day. So without further ado..
Ps. I know I have been bad lately at sharing some of the amazing weddings I have been a part of this year, but with my busy season winding down, I am hoping I will get to more sharing!
Folks, I think one of the biggest oversights of my entire year was that somehow, inexplicably, I never posted this incredible Utah wedding that I shot MONTHS AGO. Blame it on the fact it was near the holidays, or the fact that I had already posted some of these shots on social media, but whatever you blame, you cannot deny that Megan and Parker’s wedding was amazing. Why can’t I shoot every day in such stunning locations? Here’s a preview of their first look and pre-wedding photos we did at Snow Canyon!
If you’ve never been to Descanso Gardens, you need to carve out a few hours and take a trip to the beautiful botanical oasis in La Cañada Flintridge. It is an absolutely incredible set of gardens that are reminiscent of The Huntington Library but in a much more manageable size. And I have always wanted to shoot an engagement session at Descanso, but only recently was given the chance by Alex and Will. And it was worth the wait. It has such a diverse set of gardens that it feels like 10 locations in one! And after looking through their photos trying to figure out which ones to post, I can’t help but get excited for their big day tomorrow!
Finally getting a couple images from Amy’s graduation session at Cal Poly Pomona! What an absolutely beautiful campus to shoot in. Thank you so much for letting me shoot your images!!
