Christina & Rich

...now talk about a couple in love. I think it is obvious that these two are meant for each other. They have a chemistry that lights up the room- and these pictures! We drove around for awhile trying to find the perfect location and catch the sun before it faded away. I've been blessed getting to know them over the past few months and i am so excited to shoot their wedding in July!

Engaged!~

Katie and Lester met on a study abroad program in Austria. He is from Asia and she is from San Diego. Had they never gone on this adventure after graduating from high school, their lives would forever be different. I've known Katie for over 10 years and she is just a beautiful girl from head to toe and inside out. They are an amazing couple, full of life and beaming with love. Love you both!

A baby is coming!

Meet Rena and Jesse Frey. I was lucky enough to live next to these two fantastic people for over 2 years! Rena got pregnant and then they decided to move away :( Anyway- I was so happy to take part in capturing this moment in their lives. We spent over two hours at this little church in San Marcos. With the help of the ever so brilliant, David Verdugo, we got some really awesome night photos. Congrats Frey family!

Mclennan's

One big family of boys! That's right...three boys and two daughter-in-laws. This family was a blast to photograph. They had a natural energy and genuinely loved each other. The boys got these pictures taken as a present to their parents for Christmas- so thoughtful! Anyway, we ventured around my house and found little fun nooks to take pictures in. The lighting was perfect, as was this day. I hope enjoy!

Here are the Clark's!

Hello! i am back from a holiday hiatus, which was wonderful! Meet the Clark family and their dogs. Coming from a family that grew up with few animals, I must say that the dogs took a liking towards me :) I even convinced my husband, Sam, to join me on this shoot. He was a delightful companion and it freed me up to get the shoots I really wanted. (thanks babe!). Okay, so check out dad Clark's contagious smile! He was full of laughs and i loved every minute. Thanks for letting me capture your beautiful family!

Jenn, Craig, Noah, and baby ?

Jenn (great college friend), Craig, and Noah Vanderstoep. Oh yeah, and baby! Jenn and Craig have made the decision to wait to find out the sex of their baby. As for me, I could never do that! I don't have that sort of patience :) They are the most amazing family. Sadly, you will never meet them because they live up in Sacramento area. But if you are ever up there, I promise you that Jenn will make you the most fabulous dinner and Craig- well you can talk to him about anything! They are just wonderful people!

Twins!

Ethan and Andrew! These boys are identical twins! And to honest, I've known these guys since they were born, but still had a hard time telling them apart. They have so much energy and are bundles of joy, drama, and laughs! We had a great time at Grape Day Park. They loved climbing the train, tracker, and wagons. My hat goes off to their parents because they have done such an awesome job raising these boys!
