“Hi! I love you and miss you!!”

A text many of you have gotten over the past couple of months 😆

Updates:

- Haven’t consumed caffeine since about a week after I came back from Italy (so since end of March)

- Discovered that wide-leg jeans are life

- will instantly make your day better

- 30 mins of no screen time first thing in the morning sets the tone for your day

- Sleep bonnets rock

- Early 2000s throwbacks never get old

- kills it live

- Hyperfixation projects always get inspired when you have a ton of other work to do

- Throwing out your back can happen when you bend over very slowly and carefully to tie your shoe

- Vans slip ons aren’t comfortable AT ALL

- Tinted windows keep your car cool and provide UV protection

- Changing your headlight bulb is very easy

- Guys don’t actually read your Hinge profile

- Supporting your friends in new business ventures is one of the most exciting things ever

- You can just tell people you don’t want to talk about the topic they’re talking about and they’ll usually stop

- Periodic internal check-ups and adjustments are necessary

- Almost everything I’ve ever written could have been done using fewer words

Until next time!

Still thinking about N+M’s romantic wedding day at Viansa Winery in Sonoma

The setting felt like something out of a dream… golden vineyards, soft light across the hills, and a couple so connected that every moment felt effortless and full of meaning

Their intimate outdoor ceremony overlooked the valley and as the sun set, guests moved into the glow of a candlelit reception on the patio

Every detail was thoughtful and elevated, from their emotional first look to the joyful energy on the dance floor late into the night

This day was pure magic, bursting with real love and unforgettable moments that showed exactly who N+M are

I can’t wait to see the incredible life you’ll build together

Here’s to a future full of joy, adventure, and endless happiness!

This woodsy and ethereal river maternity session for C+C was a joy-filled adventure during our summertime here on the central coast

From making their own bouquets together in the forest to crossing the river while splashing and laughing the whole time

Did the rocks hurt our feet? Absolutely

Was it worth every stubbed toe and slippery almost-fall-in? 100%

your baby is the luckiest little one in this world to have you two as parents. They’ll grow up in a household full of laughter, silliness, and so much love

Can’t wait to meet the sweet babe!

“I’m thinking of like a Wong Kar-Wai type dreamy nostalgic city lights situation, especially with the cheongsam I’m wearing, but whatever you think is best we trust wholeheartedly”

K+A’s post-wedding day session in the place where it all began with their first date felt like we were sucked into your favorite romcom you didn’t know existed

Will literally jump for any concept you come up with .gif

Big Sur does what Big Sur wants and so do + // 8•22•25

After traveling all over the world, their favorite place is Big Sur and understandably so

Where towering redwoods meet the edge of the earth, cliffs fall into a restless sea, and the air feels thick with salt, silence, and something that can only be described as wild possibility

They invited 5 of their favorite humans and ran away to the cliffs on a wild adventure to make it official

We had a little sunlight… then the fog bank rolled in bringing the mystery, sexiness, and romance along with it

No rules
Just love
Just them
Just right💛

J + M’s beachside wedding day was filled with joy, laughter, and a lot of gratefulness after escaping the aggressive winds 🤭

Despite J aggravating an old knee injury 3 days earlier, the wind being exceptionally aggressive along the coast, and Pacific Grove being its normal cloudy self, nothing could overshadow the love that these two have for each other

And not only them, but the love that was poured out from every single guest

Never have I ever seen a ceremony where guests clap and cheer for every single person who walks down the aisle during the processional

From a little hike to family portraits to the loudest cheers and tightest hugs at their cocktail hour to dancing the night away (despite being told that they and their guests weren’t dancing people?? 🤔), to their grand bubble exit, this day was everything it was supposed to be…

Two families who couldn’t be happier to be joining together and celebrating this amazing couple

Congrats + !

Thank you to all clients and vendors who have kept me relevant by collaborating on posts 🫡

Here’s a genuine post from me today!

Some of my faves from last week’s maternity session at the stunning piece of heaven that is

After a little hike in the redwoods on property, we had to make one of I’s dreams come true

Since she was a little girl, she always dreamed of doing photos in a cool car along the coast

“Cheesy, I know” is what she said

But you tell me…is this cheesy or is this iconic? 🤩
