Sarah + Julio
My last session of 2022 in the morning hours at Windansea beach in La Jolla. The tide was high, the fog was low, we had the beach to ourselves, and it could not have been more perfect.
Dreamy La Jolla Engagement Session
Laguna Beach Couples Session
Ayleen + Jaime
Laguna Beach, a beautiful seaside town about an hour and a half drive from San Diego. I’ve done a few sessions in this little town before but have never been to this specific beach that Ayleen requested. After a quick search on google, we discovered Crescent Beach. A stunning location with palm tree lined cliffs, making a perfect backdrop. It was a perfect day for a session, and we managed to catch plenty of sun before the clouds came in right before sunset. Ayleen and Jaime are the cutest pair and made this session so much fun, we even got soaked by the high tide (I took the hit the worst, camera was safe thankfully).
Windansea Beach Family Session
Windansea beach has easily become my favorite place in San Diego for any session, but especially for families with little ones. We had the most amazing sunset and it made for the most amazing family session I’ve had to date. Here are some favorites of the Barbour family, soon to be 4! (5 including their sweet dog)
Romantic Balboa Park Engagement Session
La Jolla Senior Session
James Kate was the winner of my mini session giveaway! She took the opportunity to use this session for her graduation photos. The tide was high at Windansea Beach this day, but we managed to climb the rocks and make our way down to one of my favorite spots to shoot. By the way, she and her mom are amazing bakers and took me some homemade sourdough cinnamon rolls and pop tarts that were to die for. Check out their instagram page here.
Ruiz Family
A little over a week ago I had the pleasure of taking family portraits for my good friends and colleagues Tony and Maria of Black Rider Studios. A couple of years ago, I received a message from Tony asking if I would be willing to join their team as a third shooter for weddings. Since then, I've been able to work side by side with them as well as join them on a few photography projects. I can honestly say Tony has helped me grow so much with my own photography, motivated me, and has taught me a lot. He is so passionate for photography and you can definitely see that with his work.
This shoot was a lot of fun. Tony gave me the freedom to choose the location for their photos and I'm beyond happy with the results. Little John Taze is such a cutie, already well trained to be in front of the camera. With a baby girl on the way, Audrey Jane, I'm excited just thinking about the next family session.
