One of my favorite places in the world and why

My fascination with a piers came at an early age.  I remember my feet could hardly pull me forward as they inched over the rough wood and held onto my Mother’s hand. This was part of our Sunday afternoon ritual, growing up in Santa Barbara.  I’m sure my brothers were entertained as cried.  Really thought […]

Shannon and Jeremy Engagement at Camarillo Library

When I spoke with Shannon about about a location to take hers and Jeremy’s engagement photos, she knew exactly where she wanted them taken.  A place that she’d spent many hours studying.  A beautiful, peaceful place surrounded by books and some gorgeous lighting.  Camarillo Library.  I had to agree with her and was so glad […]

Isaac and Lauren Engagement

Spent a sunny, fall afternoon photographing Lauren and Isaac at the beach.  Together they made each other laugh.  Made it really easy for me to capture these images! They will be married at Jalama Ranch this summer.  It’s the same location that Isaac had proposed to Lauren.  One of my prettiest areas in California as […]

Nydia and Jesse at Santa Clara Catholic Church, Oxnard

Jesse whistled, as Nydia walked down the isle on her father’s arm, toward him, at Santa Clara Catholic Church, on September 10, 2010.  This beautiful church (one of my favorites to shoot at, not only because of the beautiful architecture, but because of their friendly staff and photography friendly policies!) has witnessed hundreds of families […]

Where did the last two months go?

Finishing up the last bit of editing for the year, I realized I had not posted in here in almost two months!  Going to get caught up, starting with Micah and Phoebe’s wedding in Felicity, Arizona.  The town was amazing!  The entire wedding party and guests ended the evening dancing under the pink granite pyramid […]
