This is Christina. She is a talented cook, a wine connoisseur, a beautiful and stylish woman, an excellent listener, a kind and generous soul, and most importantly…a very good friend of mine. After harassing her about outdated Facebook images, we decided on an “anytime” portrait session to get some up-to-date pictures. I wanted to show […]
Candice and Chris met at California State University in Fullerton. Their relationship started as a friendship…best friends actually, but Chris always knew Candice was the one he would spend his life with. And in her heart, I think Candice always did to. Chris is a sentimental guy, and that’s a rare and very cool thing. […]
This is my 100th blog post. I’m not a daily blogger, so it’s definitely taken some time to get here…two and a half years actually. I started this blogging adventure back in 2008 when I really started to take the business side of my photography seriously. I had been shooting portraits and such with my […]
On this day 14 years ago, I married my best friend. And honestly, I can’t imagine sharing my life with anyone else but him. I’m a better person for having married Tim, truly I am; I love him with all of my heart every single day. It’s sort of become a regular thing to go […]

Katrina is such a beautiful, warm, kind and talented woman…for real. I first met her when she contacted me to take portraits of her gorgeous little family back in November, (you can see that post here). After spending time capturing her family connections, Katrina decided she really needed to have a separate session to capture […]
I am a firm believer that my clients find me and choose me because I was meant to be their photographer. I know it sounds a little cheesy, but I really think it’s true. It’s a faith thing; I feel like everything happens for a reason. And Rachel and Fernando very recently helped reinforce that […]
I posted this earlier on Facebook, but I’m so excited about it that I thought it deserved a blog post too. Plus I got an official press release directly from WeddingWire, so I had to share it, right? And isn’t that just cool? But really it’s my brides (and grooms) that are the cool ones. […]
Maria grew up in Sacramento, and when her work presented her with an opportunity to move to the Pacific Northwest, she kissed her family goodbye to pursue her dreams working in politics. The family she left behind (her mother, brother and step-father) missed her greatly…especially her mother. And on a very regular basis, Maria’s mom […]
We’re animal people, Tim and I both. Since we were both small children, we have always have had a deep love for animals. As a couple our first baby was Beatrice, our sweet smashed face little pug dog (otherwise known as a Dutch bulldog). Our second baby was Gunther, our stubborn French bulldog. The minute […]
