Summer + Alec's Engagement

I was so ecstatic to shoot my cousin Summer's engagement photos with her fiancé Alec. You can tell that not only are they in love, but they truly are best friends. They were such a pleasure to work with, especially in such a picturesque setting!! I can't wait to document your upcoming day! 

Russell Family Photos

I first met the Russell family  when I was a teenager. They invited me to family surf trip and to this day, I fondly remember it. They are the kind of people you want to spend a day on the beach with; laughing joking and having a great time. While we lost touch over the years, I was so excited when they asked me to re-conect through family photos. They were celebrating Jeff and Lois' 11 year anniversary. I couldn't be more ecstatic to spend yet another day on the beach with their lovely family. 

Belle's Ballerina Photos

The strength and form of a ballerina is uniquly marvelous. I had the wonderful opportunity to capture my talented friend Belle who has been in ballet for over 10 years. We had picked out a spot to shoot in our town of Yucaipa in sunny California. The wonderful spring day weather quickly took a turn to ominous storm clouds and torrential down pour. Those storm clouds created one of the most marvelous back drops for us and I simply couldn't have asked for more. I'm in love with the shoot and the ever growing evolution of my work. I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I do.
